Surprising Lessons Parents Around the World Can Teach Us

A primer on the world's best parenting strategies—with eye-opening research on the surprising disadvantages lurking in the typical American childhood. 
 
Research reveals American kids today lag well behind the rest of the world in terms of academic achievement, happiness, and wellness. Meanwhile the battle over whether parents are to blame for fostering a generation of helpless kids rages on. Christine Gross-Loh (who raised her young children in Japan for five years) exposes the hidden, culturally-determined norms we have about “good parenting,” and asks, are there parenting strategies that other countries are getting right that we are not? This book takes us from Finland, and Sweden to Germany, France, Japan, China, Italy, and more, and examines how parents successfully foster resilience, creativity, independence and academic excellence in their children. Revealing the surprising ways in which culture shapes our parenting, Gross-Loh also offers objective, research-based insight into what strategies are best for children and why.

Among her eye-opening findings:


 * Co-sleeping, typical in most of the world’s families, may promote independence in kids.
 * American-style “hoverparenting” is unique in the world and can damage a child’s resilience.
 * Finnish children, who rank among the world’s highest academic achievers, enjoy multiple recesses a day.
 * Our obsession with self-esteem—a concept that doesn’t exist in many countries—may limit a child’s potential

At last bringing empirical research to the debate, Parenting Without Borders offers new and provocative thinking on the secrets to raising a confident and capable generation.

What Cultures Around the World Can Teach You about Parenting in Community, Raising Independent Kids, and Not Losing Your Mind

Acclaimed journalist Marina Lopes travels the world to learn how global cultures parent in community, bringing home practical guidance for American parents on how to stop doing it all, reimagine community, and build their village The difficulty of raising kids in America is well-known--no federally supported parental leave, a lack of mental health support, a crushing combination of workplace pressure and aspirational parental perfection, and the fresh hell that is the playgroup Facebook page. But what if there was another way? The simple fact is that parenting, and specifically motherhood, looks wildly different across nations. Please Yell at My Kids is an around the world journey and a practical guide to rethinking parenting. What can we learn from Brazilian birth parties, Singaporean grandparents, and Danish babies sleeping soundly outside of coffee shops? And how can that be integrated into the lives of American readers, even if we can't hop on a plane and wing our way to the land of paid parental leave? Journalist Marina Lopes travels around the globe, interviewing and learning from parents in Singapore, France, Mozambique, Indonesia, Japan, Sweden and more to provide practical, actionable ways to reimagine parenting in America. At the heart of many global approaches to parenting lies one simple, and not so simple thing: community. In America, parenting is, at best, a dual mission, perhaps with one partner playing the role of sidekick and occasional comic relief. But globally parenthood is more often a team sport, played in the center of a community that helps, supports, and occasionally drives you up the wall. From guiding caregivers through how to define their own non-negotiable values, to navigating tricky conversations with their in-laws, Please Yell at My Kids provides readers with the inspiration and practical tools to build a community of care in their own lives and reimagine parenthood in a joyful new way.

Basically like new, but has a classroom stamp on the front page. 

Frustrated by a day full of teachers and classmates mispronouncing her beautiful name, a little girl tells her mother she never wants to come back to school. In response, the girl's mother teaches her about the musicality of African, Asian, Black-American, Latinx, and Middle Eastern names on their lyrical walk home through the city. Empowered by this newfound understanding, the young girl is ready to return the next day to share her knowledge with her class. Your Name is a Song is a celebration to remind all of us about the beauty, history, and magic behind names.

How Tight and Loose Cultures Wire Our World

In Rule Makers, Rule Breakers celebrated cultural psychologist Michele Gelfand takes us on an epic journey through human cultures, offering a startling new view of the world and ourselves. With a mix of brilliantly conceived studies and surprising on-the-ground discoveries, she shows that much of the diversity in the way we think and act derives from a key difference--how tightly or loosely we adhere to social norms.

Why are clocks in Germany so accurate while those in Brazil are frequently wrong? Why do New Zealand's women have the highest number of sexual partners? Why are "Red" and "Blue" States really so divided? Why was the Daimler-Chrysler merger ill-fated from the start? Why is the driver of a Jaguar more likely to run a red light than the driver of a plumber's van? Why does one spouse prize running a "tight ship" while the other refuses to "sweat the small stuff?"

In search of a common answer, Gelfand has spent two decades conducting research in more than fifty countries. Across all age groups, family variations, social classes, businesses, states and nationalities, she's identified a primal pattern that can trigger cooperation or conflict. Her fascinating conclusion: behavior is highly influenced by the perception of threat.

With an approach that is consistently riveting, Rule Makers, Rule Breakers thrusts many of the puzzling attitudes and actions we observe into sudden and surprising clarity.
