Do we need to rethink how we raise our children in the West? Do we pamper and manipulate them towards a career, while neglecting their human potential? Here is the anti-thesis to ‘Tiger-mom’! ‘Chess-parenting’ proposes a Taoist style parenting based on real, mutual respect, effective guidance and mutual trust, which includes the development of the parent as much as that of the child. This book is for all parents who want more for their child than being programmed by parent, society and school! Particularly solo-dads of teenage girls will find chess-parenting an extremely helpful and insightful tool to raise the self-reliant and sane teenager. Comparing it with ‘Battle Hymn of the Tiger-mother’ ‘Chess-parenting’ gives power not to the mom, but to the kid and emphasizes respectful interaction over parental will and convenience.
