Rezensionen
"the book is intriguing since it undertakes to question some widely held and strong beliefs, not only for parents who might read it but to the field of academic child development. Having studied children's development as a researcher, clinician, and parent, I found the questioning of "facts" refreshing and important and would recommend it as an additional reading for students interested in child development."
One of the surprise pleasures of busting myths is encountering those that I always thought were true, and so Great Myths of Child Development provided me with a number of such surprises. Identical twins are not genetically identical? A woman can get pregnant during a pregnancy? Not all girls have XX sex chromosomes and not all boys have XY chromosomes? Fathers don't use more corporal punishment than mothers? These, and many more myths, are considered with the best available science, instead of how most of us parents do it by intuition, rumor, and word-of-mouth. This book should be on every parent'
What everyone claims to "know" about child development can be shown to simply not be so. To the rescue comes this book, which can easily be consulted when we are confronted by claims about child development that are accompanied by "authoritative"
It's great to see this new addition to the sparse but growing literature on popular misunderstandings of child development. From the entertaining riff on Dr. Spock's advice to the references to entertainment media, Great Myths of Child Development is engaging, informative, and much needed. Instructors will be pleased with the "speed busting"
Authors Hupp and Jewell systematically dissect and destroy 50 myths of child development that are too-often propagated in the popular media and by well-intentioned child-rearing experts. Most importantly, the authors don't just shoot down common misconceptions, they offer concise recommendations and resources to help readers make scientifically-informed child-rearing decisions. As a research-based child psychologist, I hope this book makes it into the hands of all parents, teachers, coaches, and pediatricians.--Brett R. Kuhn, PhD., pediatric psychologist and co-author of The Toddler Owner'
