Synopsis

"Family Life" explores the challenges of modern parenting in a technology-driven world, focusing on three crucial areas: fostering emotional intelligence, managing screen time, and building resilience in children. This comprehensive guide argues that mastering these aspects is essential for raising well-adjusted adults capable of navigating 21st-century challenges. The book combines historical perspectives with recent research in child psychology, neuroscience, and sociology to provide a holistic understanding of contemporary parenting issues.

Divided into three main sections, the book offers evidence-based strategies for each key topic. It introduces the concept of emotional intelligence and its long-term benefits, provides guidelines for age-appropriate technology use, and explores the science of grit and perseverance. What sets "Family Life" apart is its balanced approach, blending scientific research with relatable anecdotes and practical advice. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, it provides a framework for parents to develop personalized strategies based on their family's unique needs.

The book's accessible yet informative style makes it valuable for parents of children aged 3-18, as well as educators and policymakers. It addresses the specific challenges of different age groups and includes real-world examples, step-by-step guides, and reflection exercises. By emphasizing practical applications and acknowledging parenting controversies, "Family Life" empowers readers to make informed decisions and tackle the complexities of raising children in the modern age.

Living Room Revolution - A...

Cecile Andrews

The author of The Circle of Simplicity “joyfully invites us to discover a robust and real personal expansion with each other as we remake our society” (Mark Lakeman, cofounder, The City Repair Project).

Every man for himself! For too long we have lived in a competitive, consumer-oriented culture, destroying the well-being of people and the planet. We believe that money brings happiness, yet all too often, the opposite is true. The pursuit of wealth at any cost corrupts our values and diminishes our lives. The resulting inequality breaks down social cohesion and generates envy, bitterness, and resentment. Greed breeds more greed.

Living Room Revolution refutes the notion that selfishness is at the root of human nature. Research shows that people—given the right circumstances—can be caring, nurturing and collaborative. Presented with the opportunity, they gravitate toward actions and policies embodying empathy, fairness, and trust instead of competition, fear, and greed. The regeneration of social ties and the sense of caring and purpose that comes from creating community drive this essential transformation.

At the heart of this movement is the ancient art of conversation. Living Room Revolution provides a practical toolkit of concrete strategies to facilitate personal and social change by bringing people together in community and conversation.

The heart of happiness is joining with others in good talk and laughter. Each person can make a difference, and it can all start in your own living room!

“Small groups. Study circles. Stop ’n chats. House parties. Movie nights. Online sharing. Bring people together, and you never know what kind of fuse you’ll ignite for change.” —Wanda Urbanska, author of The Heart of Simple Living
