Every parent wants to raise a child who is inquisitive, creative, loving and caring. But parenting in the 21st century can be confusing. Parents are bombarded with conflicting advice on using gadgets, screen time, vaccinations, educational choices, and many other subjects. In this timely book, R. S. Tumber offers clear, concise guidelines for parents. He looks at the educational system and the increasing tendency to indoctrinate rather than encourage critical thinking. He offers advice on breaking free of those structures, releasing your child's innate creativity. Some of the suggestions may be unconventional, such as incorporating colour and music into your child's environment, but they are based on well-supported research. Topics include nutrition, games and toys, and basic financial education.
