Why I'd hand it to you
Michaeleen Doucleff, a science journalist and mom, visited families in a Maya community in Mexico, an Inuit community in the Arctic and a Hadza community in Tanzania to learn how they raise helpful, calm and confident kids. She came back with lessons about involving kids in real work, staying calm and giving children more independence. It is full of ideas that run against modern parenting. Know that her observations come from a handful of families, and some readers feel she romanticizes other cultures. Not every idea translates to American life. Still, it will make you rethink a few habits.
