How can we best parent our children? Will our own experience as children affect how successful we can be as parents? What makes some people violent or abusive and exactly how much damage have harsh parenting practices really done to those who say 'it never did me any harm' ?
With Britain experiencing a surge in knife-related youth violence, author Robin Grille explains how parenting customs have shaped societies and major world events. The history of childhood offers vital clues about the roots of human violence and social disharmony. It reveals how children adapt to different parenting styles and how these early experiences underpin the adults - and parents - they become.
The history of parenting is shocking, abusive, authoritarian and violent. Today, children are better protected than at any time in history and Parenting for a Peaceful World shows us the future can be so much better, if only we can move away from outdated and discredited parenting practices.
This book should be read by everyone who has contact with children. From parents and carers to policy makers and educators.
