This is a parenting textbook that illuminates children's futures, based on insights from a leading criminal psychologist who has psychologically analyzed 10,000 criminals. This book is especially recommended for families who think they are doing everything right. It examines whether parents' well-intentioned words are actually harmful and explores how to raise children who are both academically successful and self-reliant. For example... Do you often say, "Hurry up!"? This can hinder a child's sense of time, making it difficult for them to plan their future. Do you immediately say, "Be careful!"? Children learn about danger and pain on their own, which helps them understand others' feelings. A slight shift in parents' awareness can greatly change parenting. What should you do if you lose your temper? Is it okay to change your parenting approach mid-way? How can you raise self-reliant children using letters and construction paper? You hear all sorts of parenting advice, but what should you actually do? This is a definitive parenting guide by a popular professor, offering help to all parents struggling with raising children.
