Martin Daly and Margo Wilson show that the mistreatment to stepchildren, long a staple of folktales, has a solid basis in fact. Daly and Wilson apply the perspective of evolutionary psychology to investigate why stepparenthood is different from genetic parenthood and why steprelationships succeed or fail."

Unconditional Parenting: Moving from Rewards and Punishments to Love and Reason
|
|
New York, New York: Atria Books, 2005. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Book and dust jacket show minor shelf wear. A clean, unmarked copy. "Author of nine books, including the controversial Punished by Rewards, Kohn expands upon the theme of what's wrong with our society's emphasis on punishments and rewards. Kohn, the father of young children, sprinkles his text with anecdotes that shore up his well-researched hypothesis that children do best with unconditional love, respect and the opportunity to make their own choices. Kohn questions why parents and parenting literature focus on compliance and quick fixes, and points out that docility and short-term obedience are not what most parents desire of their children in the long run. He insists that 'controlling parents' are actually conveying to their kids that they love them conditionally--that is, only when they achieve or behave. Tactics like time-out, bribes and threats, Kohn claims, just worsen matters. Caustic, witty and thought-provoking, Kohn's arguments challenge much of today's parenting wisdom, yet his assertion that 'the way kids learn to make good decisions is by making decisions, not by following directions' rings true" (Publishers Weekly).
