{"product_id":"9780452290099","title":"Taking Back Childhood : A Proven Roadmap for Raising Confident, Creative, Compassionate Kids","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn early childhood development expert shows how to craft a nurturing childhood for your sons and daughters, while minimizing negative societal influences. Based on early-childhood development expert Nancy Carlsson-Paige's thirty years of researching young children, this groundbreaking book helps parents navigate the cultural currents shaping, and too often harming, kids today-and restore childhood to the best of what it can be. As Carlsson-Paige explains, there are three attributes critical to kids' healthy development: time and space for creative play, a feeling of safety in today's often frightening world, and strong, meaningful relationships with both adults and other children-attributes that we, as a society, are failing to protect and nurture. From advising parents on which toys foster creativity (and which stifle it) to guiding them in how to use \"power-sharing\" techniques to resolve conflicts and generate empathy, Carlsson-Paige offers hands-on steps parents can take to create a safe, open, and imaginative environment in which kids can relish childhood and flourish as human beings. \"Dr. Carlsson-Paige explains the many ways our culture and media are threatening our children's healthy development. She gives adults concrete strategies for fighting back. Today's parents need this book.\"-Marian Wright Edelman, Children's Defense Fund\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plume","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49712442245368,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":52.87,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8208\/6904\/files\/9780452290099-1.jpg?v=1783596806","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.au\/products\/9780452290099","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
