![]() ![]() ![]() The overall purpose of the book is to inform parents and educators about new information to help them rethink some of the methods they are using or thinking about using to raise their children. Each chapter presents an old belief system before offering information that casts doubt on those systems using new research, statistics, methodologies, and psychological studies. The book takes on subjects such as the faulty practice of testing children for abnormally high intelligence in kindergarten, racial issues and the formation of an understanding of race and racism, and why kids lie. NurtureShock: New Thinking about Children by co-authors Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman is a work of non-fiction structured as a series of distinct chapters about old science or research done on child development, and the way that new research undermines or overrides this old way of thinking. ![]()
