The Parenting Revolution, by Dr Justin Coulson
The Parenting Revolution by Dr Justin Coulson is out now
We know about tiger parents, helicopter parents, free-range parents, but have you heard of Tesla parents, leaf-blower parents, and iPhone 6 parents? Modern parents can (and do!) parent in so many ways, but is there a style that actually works? Can science help us to discern fad from fact so we can unpack the best way to parent?
Dr Justin Coulson believes so. And the answer? Need-supportive parenting. Drawing on up-to-the-minute research in parenting science, as well as studies of childhood development, he shows:
- how our children thrive when we understand and meet their basic psychological needs
- how our job is not to fix our kids, but to create an environment that supports their needs
- how children flourish when we minimise control, but maximise our warmth and involvement and establish healthy boundaries
When we satisfy the three basic psychological needs for our children (involvement, structure and autonomy support) life will generally feel good, and positive growth and development should follow.
In The Parenting Revolution, Dr Justin Coulson also digs deep into the practical applications of this revolutionary new approach to parenting, looking in depth at a range of tricky parenting challenges including school refusal, homework, screen time, saying no, the morning rush, when your children don’t listen and how to parent on the same page.
