Parenting Without Borders: Surprising Lessons Parents Around the World Can Teach Us
An eye-opening guide to the worldâ€™s best parenting strategies

Research reveals that American kids lag behind in academic achievement, happiness, and wellness. Christine Gross-Loh exposes culturally determined norms we have about â€œgood parenting,â€ and asks, Are there parenting strategies other countries are gettingÂ right that we are not? This book takes us across the globe and examines how parents successfully foster resilience, creativity, independence, and academic excellence in their children. Illuminating the surprising ways in which culture shapes our parenting practices, Gross-Loh offers objective, research-based insight such as:
- Co-sleeping may promote independence in kids.
- â€œHoverparentingâ€ can damage a childâ€™s resilience.
- Finnish children, who rank among the highest academic achievers, enjoy multiple recesses a day.
- Our obsession with self-esteem may limit a childâ€™s potential.
