具体描述
One of the most influential books about children ever published, NurtureShock offers a revolutionary new perspective on children that upends a library's worth of conventional wisdom. With impeccable storytelling and razor-sharp analysis, the authors demonstrate that many of modern society's strategies for nurturing children are in fact backfiring--because key twists in the science have been overlooked. Nothing like a parenting manual, NurtureShock gets to the core of how we grow, learn and live.
Released in hardcover in September 2009, NurtureShock remained on the New York Times best seller list for three months, and was one of Amazon's best selling books for 2009. The book has become a worldwide phenomenon with editions published around the world - in fifteen languages, to date.
In addition to Bronson and Merryman's writings on praise -- first made famous in New York magazine -- there are nine more equally groundbreaking chapters. Among the topics covered:
Why the most brutal person in a child's life is often a sibling, and how a single aspect of their preschool-aged play can determine their relationship as adults.
When is it too soon - or too late - to teach a child about race? Children in diverse schools are less likely to have a cross-racial friendship, not more - so is school diversity backfiring?
Millions of families are fighting to get their kids into private schools and advanced programs as early as possible. But schools are missing the best kids, 73% of the time - the new neuroscience explains why.
Why are kids - even those from the best of homes - still aggressive and cruel? The answer is found in a rethinking of parental conflict, discipline, television's unexpected influence, and social dominance.
Parents are desperate to jump-start infants' language skills. Recently, scientists have discovered a series of natural techniques that are astonishing in their efficacy - it's not baby videos, sign language, or even the richness of language exposure. It's nothing you've heard before.

读后感
这本书，让我不再随便乱夸孩子和更加关注孩子的睡眠。然而最感兴趣的还是第8章，关于自制力培养的内容了。书中列举了角色扮演游戏，自我评价，自我对话式学习，制订计划等幼儿自制力培养方法，从实证数据看，对孩子心智的成长和学习能力的提高很有帮助。不知有没有专门的书籍，...
这是一本关于解密教养真相的书。据译者介绍这是作者通过科学的眼光审视了近10年来教养领域的科研结果，批判了社会上流行的某些根深蒂固的教育观念。换句话说，在任何领域，在我们自以为是之前，很有必要先问一声：“这是真的？还是假的？”但是，很多时候，即使我们想一探究竟...
我非常喜欢这本书的风格，但是这本书的硬伤也很明显。它的优点是简明、通俗、主题突出、论据权威。但问题在于书中的教养关键词及案例的选择过于美国化，在中国（以及其他国家）的适用性偏低了。如平等（种族歧视方面的），在多元化的美国可能是个比较大的问题，但是中国基本没...
