Jessica Joelle Alexander Libri

Dall’autrice del bestseller Il metodo danese per crescere bambini felici ed essere genitori sereni Perché i bambini danesi sono così educati e felici? Non fanno bizze, sono sereni e i loro risultati scolastici sono eccellenti. Un congedo di maternità più lungo e un reddito pro capite alto contribuiscono a formare genitori meno stressati, ma siamo sicuri che la questione possa essere liquidata così facilmente? La verità è che il modello educativo di alcuni Paesi sembra essere fermo da decenni, e ci troviamo a confrontarci, a scuola e in famiglia, con strumenti appartenuti ai nostri nonni, incapaci di far fronte a problemi tipici del nostro tempo, come l’eccessiva competitività o il bullismo. Desideriamo preservare i bambini dall’ansia e dallo stress, ma spesso otteniamo l’effetto contrario, trasmettendo paure che rendono difficile un sano cammino verso l’autonomia. In questo libro Jessica Joelle Alexander ci apre le porte di scuole e abitazioni danesi. Senza mitizzare il modello del Paese più felice del mondo, ci invita, con esempi, confronti e suggerimenti, a percorrere una nuova strada per accompagnare i nostri figli e diventare grandi, e felici, insieme. In anteprima mondiale, un libro semplice e illuminante su come educare i nostri figli e farli crescere equilibrati e felici Jessica Joelle Alexander è una psicologa e giornalista da sempre appassionata di studi sulle differenze culturali. È spesso ospite di programmi televisivi e radiofonici sul tema dei figli e collabora con l’«Huffington Post», «The Copenhagen Post» e il «Local Denmark». Sposata con un danese, parla quattro lingue e da qualche tempo vive tra l’Italia e la Danimarca. Il metodo danese per crescere bambini felici ed essere genitori sereni è diventato un bestseller internazionale tradotto in 25 Paesi e in Italia è stato per settimane nella classifica dei libri più venduti.

Jessica Alexander arrived in Rwanda in the aftermath of the 1994 genocide as an idealistic intern, eager to contribute to the work of the international humanitarian aid community. But the world that she encountered in the field was dramatically different than anything she could have imagined. It was messy, chaotic, and difficult—but she was hooked. In this honest and irreverent memoir, she introduces readers to the realities of life as an aid worker. We watch as she manages a 24,000-person camp in Darfur, collects evidence for the Charles Taylor trial in Sierra Leone, and contributes to the massive aid effort to clean up a shattered Haiti. But we also see the alcohol-fueled parties and fleeting romances, the burnouts and self-doubt, and the struggle to do good in places that have long endured suffering. Tracing her personal journey from wide-eyed and naïve newcomer to hardened cynic and, ultimately, to hopeful but critical realist, Alexander transports readers to some of the most troubled locations around the world and shows us not only the seemingly impossible challenges, but also the moments of resilience and recovery.

Autorki książki próbują wyjaśnić, jak to się dzieje, że duńskie dzieci – i duńscy rodzice – są najszczęśliwszymi ludźmi na świecie. Przekazują nam wiedzę o wychowywaniu dzieci, tak aby były pewne siebie, odporne na przeciwności losu i zdolne do podejmowania wyzwań, aby nie czuły się samotne. Piszą o nauce równości, współpracy, empatii w kulturze opartej na współdziałaniu, a nie na rywalizacji i odgórnie narzuconych kryteriach sukcesu. Badania Alexander i szczera refleksja nad tym, jak na jej własne metody wychowawcze wpłynęły i jak je usprawniły duńskie wzorce kulturowe wniesione przez jej męża to cenne źródło wiedzy dla wszystkich rodziców próbujących dostrzegać słabości własnego stylu wychowywania dzieci. Badania Sandahl, duńskiej matki i psychoterapeutki oraz jej osobiste i zawodowe doświadczenia wzmacniają przekonanie, że Duńczycy rzeczywiście w jakiś wspaniały, naturalny sposób dogłębnie rozumieją, jak wychowywać dzieci. Autorki wspólnym wysiłkiem tworzą głęboko przemyślany poradnik dla rodziców, który zachęca do zastanowienia się nad sobą i dostarcza pożytecznych rad co do tego, jak najlepiej stawić czoło codziennym wyzwaniom wychowawczym. Ta książka to lektura obowiązkowa dla rodziców ze wszystkich kręgów kulturowych.
