          What if we told you ...that dishonesty in children is a positive trait that arguing in front of your kids can make you a good role model and that if you praise your children you risk making them fail ...and it was all true? This book explores logic-defying insights into child development that have far-reaching relevance for us all.

          What if we told you...

          that dishonesty in children is a positive trait

          that arguing in front of your kids can make you a good role model

          and that if you praise your children you risk making them fail

          ...and it was all true?

          Using a cutting-edge combination of behavioural psychology and neuroscience, award-winning journalists Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman have produced an innovative, counter-intuitive read that will change the way we interact with our children forever.

          They demonstrate that for years our best intentions with children have been our worst ideas, using break-through scientific studies to prove that our instincts and received wisdom are all wrong. Nurtureshock is the Freakonomics of childhood and adolescence, exploring logic-defying insights into child development that have far-reaching relevance for us all.
