Words That Curse and Words That Save Children, Taught by a Criminologist Yasuyuki Deguchi List Price: ¥990 #YasuyukiDeguchi #Book #Society/Education/Learning A parent's "good intentions" might be "a curse" to their child! The leading criminologist, who has psychologically analyzed 10,000 criminals, presents a textbook for parenting and a guide to speaking that illuminates a child's future. This book is a must-read for families who believe "it could never happen to us." How can parents verify if their well-intentioned words are actually dangerous, and how can they raise children who are both academically and socially capable and independent? For example... Do you often say, "Hurry up"? This can hinder a child's sense of time and make them struggle with planning their future and career path. Do you immediately caution them with, "Be careful!"? Children learn empathy by experiencing danger and pain themselves, which helps them understand others' feelings. Parenting can change dramatically with a slight shift in parental awareness. What should you do if you lose your temper? Is it okay to change your parenting approach midway? How can you foster independence in your child using letters or large paper? With so much parenting advice out there, what's the best way forward? This is the definitive parenting philosophy from a popular professor, designed to help all parents struggling with raising their children. Description What I learned from psychologically analyzing 10,000 criminals and juvenile delinquents. It's not just obvious issues like abuse, neglect, or poverty that lead to crime and delinquency. In fact, words spoken with good intentions by parents can become "curses" that lead children in unexpected directions. How can we raise children in a way that nurtures their potential without stifling it? A new approach to parenting explained by a criminologist. Presented with case studies of criminals and juvenile delinquents.
