Alfie Kohn

    15 ottobre 1957

    Alfie Kohn è una voce di spicco che sfida gli approcci convenzionali al comportamento umano, all'educazione e alla genitorialità. È ampiamente riconosciuto per le sue critiche alla competizione e alle ricompense, che hanno acceso un dibattito significativo e gli sono valse il riconoscimento come critico di spicco dell'attenzione educativa nei confronti dei voti e dei punteggi dei test. Il lavoro di Kohn approfondisce le dinamiche della motivazione e dell'apprendimento, sostenendo metodi che favoriscono la spinta intrinseca e una comprensione più profonda dello sviluppo. I suoi scritti e le sue conferenze incoraggiano lettori e pubblico a riconsiderare le pratiche consolidate e ad adottare strategie più collaborative e ponderate.

    • Průkopnický přístup k výchově dětí od uznávaného pedagoga Alfieho Kohna nabízí rodičům hodnotné výchovné postupy, které přispívají k tomu, aby z dětí vyrostli vnímaví a zodpovědní lidé. Kohn zdůrazňuje, že jednou ze základních potřeb dítěte je bezpodmínečná láska, tedy vědomí, že je přijímáno i v případě chyb. Konvenční výchovné metody, založené na trestech a odměnách, však učí děti, že si lásku musí zasloužit svými výkony. Kohn přináší cenné poznatky z výzkumů, které ukazují na škody způsobené tímto přístupem, přičemž většina rodičů si neuvědomuje, že tímto způsobem svým dětem nechtěně předávají negativní lekce. Bezpodmínečné rodičovství se nezaměřuje pouze na poslušnost, ale také na to, jak rodiče uvažují o svých dětech a jak s nimi jednají. Kohn vyzývá k přehodnocení běžných výchovných předpokladů a nabízí praktické strategie, které podporují spolupráci s dětmi místo kontroly. Radí, jak nahradit chválu bezpodmínečnou podporou, kterou děti potřebují k tomu, aby se staly zdravými a zodpovědnými jedinci. Tento novátorský text zpochybňuje zavedené modely výchovy a inspiruje čtenáře, aby se opět spolehli na své instinkty a usilovali o zlepšení svých rodičovských dovedností.

    • Since its publication in 1993, this groundbreaking book has convinced countless parents, teachers, and managers that working with people is more successful than doing things to them. Do rewards motivate people? asks Kohn. Yes. They motivate people to get rewards. Moreover, the use of rewards actually undermines the quality of people's work or learning - and causes them to lose interest in whatever they've been bribed to do. Seasoned with humour and familiar examples - and updated to include a wealth of recent research, Punished by Rewards presents an argument unsettling to hear but impossible to dismiss.

      "A prominent and esteemed critic challenges widely held beliefs about children and parenting, revealing that underlying each myth is a deeply conservative ideology that is, ironically, often adopted by liberal parents. Somehow a set of deeply conservative assumptions about children--what they're like and how they should be raised--have congealed into the conventional wisdom in our society. Parents are accused of being both permissive and overprotective, unwilling to set limits and afraid to let their kids fail. Young people, meanwhile, are routinely described as entitled and narcissistic. With the same lively, contrarian style that characterizes all of his influential work, Alfie Kohn systematically debunks these beliefs--not only challenging erroneous factual claims but also exposing the troubling ideology that underlies them. Relying on new research and a vast collection of social science data, as well as on logic and humor, he challenges popular parenting myths and argues that, in fact, the major threat to healthy child development is parenting that is too controlling rather than too indulgent"-- Provided by publisher

      Alfie Kohn macht Eltern Mut, quer zu denken – damit unsere Kinder zu starken Persönlichkeiten werden und nicht zu kleinen Jasagern, wie es Autorität predigende und immer nur Grenzen fordernde Erziehungspäpste nahelegen. Deren Maximen entlarvt dieses Buch genauso wie das dahinter stehende negative Bild vom Kind, das sie bewusst erzeugen. Ein spannendes Buch für Eltern und alle, die mit Kindern zu tun haben. »Kinder sind keine Tyrannen, und sie werden auch nicht zu Helikopterkindern oder kleinen Prinzessinnen, nur weil wir ihnen Liebe und Verständnis entgegenbringen.« Alfie Kohn

      Dalla logica dei premi e delle punizioni a quella dell’amore e della ragione

      Most parenting guides focus on how to control children, asking, "How can we get kids to do what they're told?" In contrast, a respected educator begins by exploring what children truly need and how to meet those needs. Central to this approach is the idea that all children require unconditional love and acceptance, regardless of their mistakes or shortcomings. Conventional parenting methods, such as punishments and rewards, often convey the opposite message: that love is conditional on pleasing us. The author cites significant research illustrating the harm caused by leading children to believe they must earn approval, highlighting the unintended consequences of common discipline techniques. This book goes beyond typical discussions of discipline, encouraging parents to reflect on their beliefs and behaviors. It challenges them to reconsider their assumptions about raising children while providing practical strategies for transitioning from a "doing to" approach to a "working with" mindset. This includes replacing praise with the unconditional support essential for children's development into caring, responsible individuals. Ultimately, this eye-opening work reconnects readers with their instincts and inspires them to become more effective and compassionate parents.
