Unconditional Parenting
Book • 2005
In this book, Alfie Kohn challenges conventional parenting methods by arguing that children need to be loved unconditionally, rather than being subject to rewards and punishments.
Kohn critiques common discipline techniques such as time-outs, positive reinforcement, and other forms of control, citing research that shows these methods can lead children to believe they must earn parental approval.
The book offers practical strategies for parents to work with their children, rather than doing things to them, and emphasizes the importance of providing unconditional support to help children grow into healthy, caring, and responsible individuals.
