SUMMARY:Virtual Event: Michaeleen Doucleff
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Monday\, March 15 at 6pm PT when Dr. Michaeleen Doucleff joins us to discuss her book\, Hunt\, Gather\, Parent: What Ancient Cultures Can teach Us About the Lost Art of Raising Happy\, Helpful Little Humans\, on Zoom! \nZoom Login Info\nPlease click the link below to join the webinar:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/88078828927 \nPraise for Hunt\, Gather\, Parent\n“Parents: You don’t have to go to kid birthday parties anymore! Or awkwardly straddle playground equipment! Or create chore charts! In her funny\, honest\, and practical book\, Michaeleen Doucleff collects ancient wisdom that can restore sanity to parenting.”\n—Amanda Ripley\, New York Times bestselling author of The Smartest Kids in the World and High Conflict \n“THIS IS THE PARENTING BOOK I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!! Frustrated by the challenges of being a new parent\, investigative journalist Michaeleen Doucleff straps her kid on her back and travels thousands of miles to learn why and how indigenous cultures seem to raise kids to be far more skilled\, confident\, and content than the kids back at home. Armed with respect and curiosity\, Doucleff realizes that incessant communication with her child while attempting to control every small thing leads her child to feel anxiety and act out. And that giving a child autonomy while building a loving connection yields highly skilled kids who cooperate\, regulate their emotions\, and pitch in without waiting to be asked. Smart\, humbling\, and revealing\, Hunt\, Gather\, Parent should force a re-set of modern American parenting and return a healthier and happier childhood to both parents and children.”\n—Julie Lythcott-Haims\, New York Times bestselling author of How to Raise an Adult and Real American \n“Michaeleen Doucleff’s Hunt\, Gather\, Parent breathes a gust of fresh air onto the parenting bookshelf. She gives us a whole new way of looking at raising kids\, and it is so beautifully intuitive even as it runs counter to everything we have been taught as Western parents. I loved all the families she introduces us to\, the landscapes she brings to life\, and her honesty about her relationships with her own daughter. It really does take a village to raise a child\, and it is pure joy to follow Michaeleen and Rosy from village to village seeing how it can be done. I can’t wait to talk to other parents about this book.”\n—Angela C. Santomero\, creator\, head writer\, and executive producer of Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood and Blue’s Clues\, and author of Radical Kindness and Preschool Clues \nAbout Hunt\, Gather\, Parent\nThe oldest cultures in the world have mastered the art of raising happy\, well-adjusted children. What can we learn from them? \nWhen Dr. Michaeleen Doucleff becomes a mother\, she examines the studies behind modern parenting guidance and finds the evidence frustratingly limited and the conclusions often ineffective. Curious to learn about more effective parenting approaches\, she visits a Maya village in the Yucatán Peninsula. There she encounters moms and dads who parent in a totally different way than we do—and raise extraordinarily kind\, generous\, and helpful children without yelling\, nagging\, or issuing timeouts. What else\, Doucleff wonders\, are Western parents missing out on? \nIn Hunt\, Gather\, Parent\, Doucleff sets out with her three-year-old daughter in tow to learn and practice parenting strategies from families in three of the world’s most venerable communities: Maya families in Mexico\, Inuit families above the Arctic Circle\, and Hadzabe families in Tanzania. She sees that these cultures don’t have the same problems with children that Western parents do. Most strikingly\, parents build a relationship with young children that is vastly different from the one many Western parents develop—it’s built on cooperation instead of control\, trust instead of fear\, and personalized needs instead of standardized development milestones. \nMaya parents are masters at raising cooperative children. Without resorting to bribes\, threats\, or chore charts\, Maya parents rear loyal helpers by including kids in household tasks from the time they can walk. Inuit parents have developed a remarkably effective approach for teaching children emotional intelligence. When kids cry\, hit\, or act out\, Inuit parents respond with a calm\, gentle demeanor that teaches children how to settle themselves down and think before acting. Hadzabe parents are world experts on raising confident\, self-driven kids with a simple tool that protects children from stress and anxiety\, so common now among American kids.\nNot only does Doucleff live with families and observe their techniques firsthand\, she also applies them with her own daughter\, with striking results. She learns to discipline without yelling. She talks to psychologists\, neuroscientists\, anthropologists\, and sociologists and explains how these strategies can impact children’s mental health and development. Filled with practical takeaways that parents can implement immediately\, Hunt\, Gather\, Parent helps us rethink the ways we relate to our children\, and reveals a universal parenting paradigm adapted for American families. \nAbout the Author\nMichaeleen Doucleff is a correspondent for NPR’s Science Desk. In 2015\, she was part of the team that earned a George Foster Peabody award for its coverage of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. Prior to joining NPR\, Doucleff was an editor at the journal Cell\, where she wrote about the science behind pop culture. She has a doctorate in chemistry from the University of California\, Berkeley\, and a master’s degree in viticulture and enology from the University of California\, Davis. She lives with her husband\, daughter\, and German shepherd\, Mango\, in San Francisco.
