Jessica Joelle Alexander Libri

Perché i bambini danesi sono così educati e felici? Non mostrano capricci, sono sereni e ottengono ottimi risultati scolastici. Fattori come un congedo di maternità più lungo e un alto reddito pro capite contribuiscono a genitori meno stressati, ma la questione è più complessa. Il modello educativo di alcuni Paesi è rimasto stagnante, e ci troviamo a utilizzare strumenti obsoleti, incapaci di affrontare sfide moderne come la competitività e il bullismo. Nel tentativo di proteggere i bambini dall’ansia, spesso trasmettiamo paure che ostacolano la loro autonomia. L'autrice ci guida attraverso le scuole e le case danesi, senza idealizzare il Paese più felice del mondo, ma offrendo esempi e suggerimenti per un nuovo approccio educativo. Il libro propone una via per accompagnare i nostri figli verso una crescita equilibrata e felice. Jessica Joelle Alexander, psicologa e giornalista esperta in differenze culturali, è spesso ospite in programmi media e collabora con diverse pubblicazioni. Sposata con un danese, vive tra Italia e Danimarca, e il suo metodo è diventato un bestseller internazionale, tradotto in 25 Paesi e molto apprezzato in Italia.

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.
