„Cud rodzicielstwa” nie jest typowym poradnikiem – nie ma w nim rad. Są tu raczej słowa, w które warto się wsłuchać (to trudniejsze niż zrobienie czegoś według instrukcji), by uświadomić sobie, co jest ważne w byciu człowiekiem i rodzicem. Żeby ujrzeć własne dziecko w całej jego istocie, pięknie i potencjale, zobaczmy również to niewinne, dobre i mądre dziecko w sobie.
Miraculous Parenting by Shai Orr: In Parenting Space For Change Is Infinite
Miraculous Parenting: What Do Our Children Really Ask of Us by Shai Orr doesn't mean to embarrass any parents or make them feel guilty. It is a sincere attempt to make you, as a parent, realize what your child actually ask of you. On the other side, it also attempts to reflect the gap between parents and children in understanding each other. For that purpose, Shai Orr says, "In Parenting, the space for change is limitless." In fact, you can't set boundaries in this context. It has to be a dynamic and positive affair in order to achieve its goals. In my opinion, this book is only for three kinds of persons. One, who are parents of whatever age. Two, those who are about to be parents. And three, those who will be parents in few years to come. Effectively, it is for all to read a different aspect.
Miraculous Parenting: What Do Our Children Really Ask of Us by Shai Orr doesn't intend to highlight mistakes during parenting. In fact, it intends to show the tremendous power of listening that acts as a healing agent. Actually, it is very important to understand if you want to grow your child who keeps on surviving as an adult or someone who yearns to live. In fact, developing a habit or tendency of giving up easily becomes lethal at a later stage. The book takes you away from this materialistic world for a while to understand parenting is not a burden. Rather, it is taking care of a workshop where you create humanity. There is a difference between denial and acceptance. Every parent would love to grow their child with acceptance. Similarly is about fear and freedom. Would you love your child to grow as a fearful adult?
Miraculous Parenting: What Do Our Children Really Ask of Us by Shai Orr covers ground level realities about parenting in an astonishing manner. Like, Shai says don't solve difficulties for your children. Rather listen to their difficulties and make them capable of solving those on their own. In fact, don't take shortcuts in parenting. Change is very important in this regard. The book contains a number of elements of change that are essential for parenting. As a matter of fact, the book gives a new definition to parenting. It, in fact, presents, an altogether different paradigm. That makes this book quite useful and unique. The amazing cover, in fact, says it all.
This is a complete BS, this 'new age' parenting book is suppose to promote listing and caring for our children in a magical way and everything will just sort itself out and you will be singing on a cloud. Well I tell you, this is not the case. These are very hard concepts to understand and even harder to implement, which makes me think this is all a bunch of made up BS that is only intended to get you confused and go away from your motherly instincts... anyways, I thought I will go to the horses head to get some answers - when trying to contact the author he wanted to charge over $250 per session to 'help me understand' his book. This is to me a complete scam, it feels as if the entire purpose of the book is to have you pay him for his 'sessions'. As a single mother of two (2.5,6) who's having difficulties with my kids I am sometime desperate for some help and guidence, when reaching out to the authors I felt completely taken advantage of and without any sympathy for my situation, I asked for a discounted price and was willing to pay handsomely but they would not move an Inch. I don't know what to say.. I guess this book is only good for you if you are rich and can pay an extra $250/h to the guy who wrote it in order to make any sense of whatever he is saying. I'm done with these people. Sorry. Please don't contribute more to this magician, or buy his book, please.
I'm halfway at the moment, and intend to update once done.
At the halfway point, I will say that there are some beautiful ideas and insights in this book, but it is so far very one-sided. So far it describes the needs of children in some general "requests" which are described pretty well (so far so good). After that it describes what falling short of satisfying those requests. It doesn't address in the first half how in practical life the requests of the child can be in tension with practical needs, limits and demands of the parents and even society.
In reality there must be a middle ground between giving a kid all that it wants and raising a kid to become a pleasant person to live with and a person that can function and contribute in society while finding happiness for itself. In the first half of the book I did not read of that balance. To be continued..
O tym jak być dobrym rodzicem. Według autora dzieci mają 7 podstawowych potrzeb do zaspokojenia: * Bezpieczeństwa * Przyjemności * Wyjątkowości * Bliskości * Wolności wypowiedzi * Wolności myślenia/kreatywności * Wolności istnienia Dziecko, kiedy któraś z potrzeb jest niezaspokojona najpierw ma etap próśb, potem żądań a na końcu rezygnacji, kiedy uznaje że rodzic nie jest wstanie zaspokoić takiej potrzeby i zamyka się wewnętrznie i dorasta zbyt szybko. Większość dorosłych to zbyt szybko dorośnięte dzieci, które nie miały spełnionych którejś ze swych podstawowych próśb.
Dwie gwiazdki za dobre chęci autora, jednak książka jest po prostu nudna. Jeśli przeczytasz kilka pierwszych stron to już możesz uznać, że przeczytałeś całą książkę, autor w kółko się powtarza i jeszcze te irytujące metafory non stop...
Miała wspaniałe opinie, jednakże mnie totalnie nie zachwyciła. Trudny, monotonny styl pisania, mało polotu, długo się czyta. Generalnie bez szału, miałam zdecydowanie wyższe oczekiwania.
