The Parents We Mean To Be: How Well-Intentioned Adults Undermine Children’s Moral and Emotional Development by Richard Weissbourd

The Parents We Mean To Be

I liked the fact that the book by Richard Weissbourd had a strong emphasis on the morality (as compared to the happiness). It’s something that I also feel that is lacking in the fast-paced, low-birth-rate world of today.

The book had an interesting section on the affects of the “Americanization” of the immigrant children on their morality. However, the book overall seemed quite not “organized” (or too narrative) for a study/research-based book.

It did have a conclusion section at the end, but I felt that I wouldn’t have came to those conclusions from reading the whole book up to that point.

The concept and intention seem to be good, but I am not sure if it made a good argument for them.
