Imagine a world where war, tyranny, human rights abuses and ecological destruction are relics of the past. What if the means to create such a reality were in the hands of mothers and fathers, and all those involved in the care and education of children?

Parenting for a Peaceful World is a fascinating look at how parenting customs have shaped societies and major world events. It reveals how children adapt to different parenting styles and how these early experiences underpin the adults they become.

In this expansive book, Robin Grille draws on revolutionary new research to argue that the safeguarding of children’s emotional development is the key to creating a more peaceful and harmonious world.

Parenting for a Peaceful World is a book for parents, child health professionals, and adults learningto be whole again. It is a manifesto for policy-makers and a resource for teachers. If the findings outlined in these pages are put into practice, the result may be a revolution of peace, humanity, and a world beyond our imagining.

Looking forward to the UPDATE

Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2015

This type of social history needs to be updated with new statistics every 5-10 years to accurately
portray what's current. A healthy chunk of this book is a history of Child Abuse since ancient
times.

(What's new and pink about this subject, and not so current in *Parenting*, is the neurology of the newborn,
i.e.the neonate's brain is only 25% developed at birth and the part that is developed is the reptilian brain.
The social brain (or limbic system) is not there at birth, much less the prefrontal cortex (the thinking brain).
The mother or primary care-giver is the implicit MODEL to help grow this unformed brain.

However baby's whole body is SENTIENT. Her senses are multi-fold and starting to be so, long
before birth. While parents are trying to turn their babies into model achievers, they fail to focus first on what physically
develops first! Attachment. Nils Bergman might fill out the baby's needs picture with Kangaroo Care. Safety for mothers and babies
is part and parcel of the healthy brain development of newborns. Also, the subject of medical interventions
and pharmaceuticals literally changing the recipe of the *bun in the oven*, would beef-up Grill's overview.

Robin Grille gives some valuable tips on more thoughtful and non-violent child rearing practices at the end.

As a woman, I see the usual failure to expose the scary facts: like...there are over 800,000 registered
sex offenders (mostly male) in the US alone, in 2015. And no one has figured out a way to regulate, or civilize,
or stop recidivism in this population. This is an important, though certainly unpleasant part of our social history,
and ripe for examination.

An important, but emotionally challenging read

Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2017

Verified Purchase

Still reading it, and enthralled with the content. I admit the first third of the book is difficult to stomach and not recommended unless you have time to be alone and process the material. It darkly details the horror that we as humans have inflicted on our children throughout history. However, as dark as it is, the material does motivate me to vigorously do whatever I can to change the pattern of trauma that has contributed to the ills of society today. I do hope the remaining pages of the book can provide some hope at a time when I struggle to find it on a daily basis. While many points of the book help me understand how a certain individual can rise to the publicly elected status of President of the United States, such an understanding brings with it a sorrowful awakening to the enormity of the problem we are up against -- nearly an entire planetary species with underlying and unresolved trauma at its core, and too many individuals suffering from a low emotional IQ and a lack of knowledge of how it can be addressed and repaired, or worse yet, a lack of will to change it.

so I recommend reading it with a friend

Had to buy this book for a religion class in college. Interesting viewpoints about raising a family and how that will positively impact the world. It's very different from how most of us were raised, so try to stomach the discomfort it gives you. In my class we were able to talk through our issues with the book, which was really helpful, so I recommend reading it with a friend. Definitely a good book for teachers, social workers, and parents.

Touches the heart, backed by reasoning and evidence

Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2013

Verified Purchase

Show this book to any random adult stranger and explain its premise (unfiltered and raw) and historical revelations, and I guarantee you there's an 8 of out 10 chance they will become defensive. This is all the evidence you need that we are still far from reaching a world of peaceful parenting. Fear not, however, because just like the dinosaurs, the older generations die off and go extinct, and with them their ideas and beliefs slowly lose their flame.

I recommend this book over "The History of Childhood", since Robin Grille writes for the lay reader, covers history (using Lloyd de Mause's and other psychohistorian's research), goes over infant and child psychology, reveals groundbreaking science, and provides means to become better parents.

I have found the following terms synonymous: peaceful parenting, unconditional parenting, helping mode parenting, philosophical parenting, and non-violent parenting.

A book to make you think...

Powerful and inspiring book. For all those who believe our society is in the toilet and we have never been more depraved, it is so completely untrue. This book gives me hope for the future. We are improving. For the growing number of parents who are actively trying to understand their kids and their kids' needs, this book is incredibly helpful. It also reminds me on days when I'm feeling like my parents were right, spanking and shaming is the way, it isn't and it doesn't help. Violence and self centeredness, because of thier nature can't help.

Life Changing Read!

Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2013

Verified Purchase

I have probably read over 50 books on parenting. This is the single most important and life changing book I have ever read. I've studied psychology, child development and I am a registered nurse. Last year I became certified to teach Nonviolent Parenting. This book was on our required reading list. I could write pages of accolades for this book and Robin Grill's work. This book helped me to understand the history of violence, gain a deep understanding of violence, have empathy for those who come for a place of violence and CHANGE so that I could break the cycle of violence in my family history and those of other families.

Amazing book, must read for all parents

Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2010

Verified Purchase

I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone interested in parenting or just interested in self-development. Understanding parenting styles that were prevalent during our childhood helps us go through a self discovery thought process that can make us better persons. Every individual should go through this self discovery process in order to stop the vicious cycle of making the same mistakes in bringing up our children as our parents made with us. If we want our children to jump to the next level of human civilization, every parent or parent to be should understand what this book advocates and care for their children following these guidelines.

I wish I had come across and read this book before I became a mum, but it is invaluable. If you read nothing else this year, read this!

Wonderful read

Reviewed in Australia on May 22, 2022

Going by the heading one may dismiss it by saying, yet another management book on parenting. But when you actually read it, you will understand the importance of knowing the information the author has shared. Extensively researched but presented in a lucid manner. I would definitely recommend it not only for parents but for educators, educational reformists, social workers and all who work with children in general. Good work Robin!
