    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

    #1 Children are magical creatures that grow right under our noses. They are unable to grasp the big picture, and their questions reveal the newly discovered parts. They see the world as not being constrained by adult logic.

    #2 The question of how we raise children is both daunting and fascinating. We have raised children according to cultural tradition and in keeping with the context we find ourselves in. But today, we have a lot of conflicting advice on how to raise psychologically healthy children.

    #3 The developmental/relational approach is like gardening. Parents want to understand what conditions their children grow best in, and they focus on developing strong adult-child relationships that provide the foundation for full human potential.

    #4 The most important thing for children is having at least one adult who can satisfy their need for contact and closeness. When children’s relational needs are satisfied, they will be released to their play, where they will grow and develop.

      #1

      Children are magical creatures that grow right under our noses. They are unable to grasp the big picture, and their questions reveal the newly discovered parts. They see the world as not being constrained by adult logic.

      #2

      The question of how we raise children is both daunting and fascinating. We have raised children according to cultural tradition and in keeping with the context we find ourselves in. But today, we have a lot of conflicting advice on how to raise psychologically healthy children.

      #3

      The developmental/relational approach is like gardening. Parents want to understand what conditions their children grow best in, and they focus on developing strong adult-child relationships that provide the foundation for full human potential.

      #4

      The most important thing for children is having at least one adult who can satisfy their need for contact and closeness. When children’s relational needs are satisfied, they will be released to their play, where they will grow and develop.

      #5

      The first goal of healthy development is to become a separate being and develop a strong sense of agency. The emergent process thrusts a child towards selfhood and exploration of their world. Play is the natural sphere in which children first start to express this emergent self.

      #6

      The second maturation process that underlies human potential is the adaptive process. It is at the root of how we become resilient and resourceful, and how we recover from adversity.

      #7

      The third maturation process is integration, which transforms children into social beings who are mature and responsible. It requires brain development and emotional maturity. As this shift occurs, young children will become increasingly tempered in their expression of thoughts and feelings.

      #8

      The capacity to be a separate self is one of the most important developmental resolutions of the integrative process. When you are able to hold on to your own point of view while considering another person’s experiences, it provides greater breadth and depth in perspective.

      #9

      There is a difference between the child who acts mature and the child who is given time to become mature. We have become distracted, confused, and lulled into believing that a mature performance is synonymous with maturity.
