Bruno Bettelheim Libri

Non bisogna cercare di essere genitori perfetti o, tantomeno, aspettarsi che perfetti siano i figli. Il segreto - dice Bruno Bettelheim - sta nell'essere un genitore "quasi" perfetto, cercare di comprendere le ragioni dei propri figli, mettersi nei loro panni, costruire con loro un profondo e duraturo rapporto di comunicazione emotiva e affettiva. Solo questo scambio paritario consente di riconoscere, affrontare e risolvere i problemi che via via si presentano nella vita quotidiana della famiglia: dalle collere e dai capricci ai terrori notturni della prima infanzia, dal rifiuto della scuola alle ribellioni adolescenziali, dalla questione della disciplina a quella delle punizioni, dalle prime esperienze e dal gioco sino alla costruzione dell'identità del bambino. Diventato un classico della psicologia infantile, Un genitore quasi perfetto è un prezioso distillato delle idee e dell'esperienza maturate nel corso di una carriera pìù che sessantennale.

In this book, the preeminent child psychologist of our time gives us the results of his lifelong effort to determine what is most crucial in successful child-rearing. His purpose is not to give parents preset rules for raising their children, but rather to show them how to develop their own insights so that they will understand their own and their children's behavior in different situations and how to cope with it. Above all, he warns, parents must not indulge their impulse to try to create the child they would like to have, but should instead help each child fully develop into the person he or she would like to be.
