Nutureshock by PO Bronson & Ashley Merryman
Nurtureshock will change the way you think about and raise your kids. Looking outside the box instead of within, Nurtureshock brings to light tings that are right in front of our noses. As the mother of two teenagers, I found the chapter on teen rebellion especially interesting. If you have more than one child and they fight and argue (and they will), there is a chapter about that too.
You don't need to be a parent to read this book. You had parents and the way things were done in the past is almost a distant memory. With technology these days, kids are subjected to all sorts of impressions from internet, TV, music and much more. Nurtureshock will explain why most children lie or why praising children can be harmful.
Nurtureshock is a very insightful book. Sure there are areas I agree to disagree with the authors, but that is wht makes a psychology book great. There are also areas I was nodding my head in agreement. I highly recommend this book!
If you want the chance to see for yourself, I'm giving away five copies, compliments of Hatchette. The deadline is August 14, so hurry! Enter here.

The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.
Thank you for taking time out of your day to leave a comment. It's appreciated.

You're right that psychology and many other fields for that matter are always debating over something. I got a copy of this book too and I will read it soon. =)
