In Part 2, we’ll look at the core conditional parenting techniques (rewards and punishments) and why Kohn says we shouldn’t use them. In Part 1 of this guide, we’ll look at Kohn’s overall case for shifting from “conditional” to “unconditional” parenting. In Unconditional Parenting, he argues that most of us have learned to parent in a “conditional” way: That is, we make our children believe that we only love them when they do what we want. Kohn is the author of 14 books, most of which focus on education and parenting. Advocates for gentle parenting argue that it fosters autonomy, develops stronger parent-child bonds, and builds children’s internal motivation. Unconditional Parenting, published in 2005, was an early contribution to the popular “ gentle parenting” movement: a set of loosely associated approaches that move away from traditional discipline methods. How can we raise kids to be self-confident, independent, and compassionate? In Unconditional Parenting, author and lecturer Alfie Kohn argues that we should throw away the standard parenting rulebook and replace it with a new approach built on unconditional support, acceptance, and understanding. 1-Page Summary 1-Page Book Summary of Unconditional Parenting
