Intentional Parenting eBook

In this diverse world, parents and educators around the globe today face new challenges connecting with raising children. The Nigerian Igbo belief 'It takes a village to raise a child' can re-emerge as 'It takes a multi-cultural perspective in the village that raises a child prepared for the culturally integrated world'. This book offers a multi-cultural, multi-disciplinary, and fresh, global perspective on parenting today by delving deep into the cultural, ethnic, and traditional characteristics of parenting, as well as the latest evidence-based scientific research on parenting a healthy child in every developmental stage for this era. Fascinating topics discussed here include connecting to an infant, potty training toddlers, teaching emotional regulation to preschoolers, task management of school-age children, dramatic transitions of tweens, and communicating effectively with an adolescent.
