If all the might of contemporary Western psychology couldn't supply the answers to her parenting questions, she began to wonder if an opposite approach was needed--one founded on traditional wisdom, like the knowledge and experience passed down over hundreds, even thousands, of years within ancient cultures. With her young daughter in tow, she traveled across the world to observe and practice parenting strategies alongside families in three of the world's most venerable communities: Maya families in Mexico, Inuit families above the Arctic Circle, and Hadzabe families in Tanzania. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDr. Doucleff soon learned that these cultures don't have the same problems with children that Western parents do. Most strikingly, parents build a relationship with young children that is vastly different from the one many Western parents develop--it's built on cooperation instead of control; trust instead of fear; and personalized needs instead of standardized development milestones. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eHunt, Gather, Parent\u003c\/i\u003e, Dr. Doucleff introduces us to families in the Maya, Inuit, and Hadzabe communities, where parents help little ones learn to control their emotions and reduce tantrums by the parents themselves controlling their own frustrations; foster self-sufficiency by safely giving kids the autonomy to manage risks and explore their limits; and motivate children to help with chores without using bribes or threats. Dr. Doucleff also talks to psychologists, neuroscientists, anthropologists, and sociologists and explains how the tools and tips can impact children's mental health and development. Packed with practical takeaways, \u003ci\u003eHunt, Gather, Parent\u003c\/i\u003e helps us rethink the ways we relate to our children, and reveals a universal parenting paradigm adapted for modern American families.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Avid Reader Press \/ Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/02\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781982149673\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352","brand":"Michaeleen Doucleff","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38400744521909,"sku":"9781982149673","price":29.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_8ee07507-9f63-4e78-a713-71f789926171.jpg?v=1612165754","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/hunt-gather-parent-what-ancient-cultures-can-teach-us-about-the-lost-art-of-raising-happy-helpful-little-humans-9781982149673","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
