The Gardener and the Carpenter

What the New Science of Child Development Tells Us About the Relationship Between Parents and Children

Alison Gopnik

Discover why modern parenting may not actually be the best for your child in this thought-provoking book by a leading child psychologist. Through her expertise in human evolution and scientific research on child development, the author argues that the current obsession with control and goal-oriented parenting is not only based on flawed science but also detrimental to both children and parents. Learn why children thrive in their natural state and how to embrace their unpredictable and imaginative nature.
