'Parenting for a Peaceful World'

"Imagine a world where war, tyranny, human rights abuses and ecological
destruction are relics of the past. What if the means to create such a
reality were in the hands of mothers and fathers, and all those
involved in the care and education of children?

'Parenting for a Peaceful World' is a fascinating look at how parenting
customs have shaped societies and major world events. It reveals how
children adapt to different parenting styles and how these early
experiences underpin the adults they become.

In this expansive book Robin Grille draws on revolutionary new research
to argue that the safeguarding of children's emotional development is
the key to creating a more peaceful and harmonious world.

'Parenting for a Peaceful World' is a book for parents, child health
professionals, and for adults learning to be whole again. It is a
manifesto for policy-makers and a resource for teachers. If the
findings outlined in these pages are put into practice, the result may
be a revolution of peace, humanity, and a world beyond our imagining.

Parents, teachers and child-health professionals, will learn about:

1. Groundbreaking new discoveries about emotional development and
the growing brain that will revolutionize our approaches to
child-rearing and education.
2. How emotional intelligence develops in early childhood - and what
this means for you as a teacher, health professional and / or as a
parent.
3. How to promote healthy emotional development in children: helping
them to be more self-confident, fulfilled, responsible and considerate,
while sharply reducing the incidence of anti-social behaviours,
delinquency, depression, addiction, and a number of mental illnesses.
4. How childhood experiences drive human relations and, ultimately,
the functioning of our societies.
5. How our child-rearing choices can help to create societies that
are more peaceful, harmonious, just and sustainable.

Policy-makers and politicians will learn what leading-edge,
international research has told us about:

1. How child-rearing customs impact societies, international
relations and major word events.
2. Evidence for the remarkable cost-effectiveness of
parent-supportive social initiatives, such as early intervention
programs.
3. The grave economic and social cost of authoritarian or
emotionally neglectful parenting and education - for instance, how the
excessive use of childcare, or of discipline methods that employ
corporal punishment or shaming, impact upon the areas of mental health,
substance addiction, bullying in schools and crime.
4. Family-supportive policies that demonstrably reduce crime,
domestic violence, substance abuse and mental illness.
5. The role of child-rearing reforms in promoting peace, social
justice and sustainability. .............."
