Klappentext From Michael Gurian, the best-selling author of The Minds of Boys and The Wonder of Girls , comes the next-step book that shows how any parent can tune into a child's unique core personality, hard wiring, temperament, and genetic predisposition in order to help that child flourish and thrive. PRAISE FOR Nurture the Nature "Gurian's presentation is comprehensive and peppered with fascinating facts (i.e., how pheromones of biological fathers affect the onset of girls' puberty or how parts of a toddler's brain actually swell during a tantrum). The author's new text will help parents begin, in the tradition of Maria Montessori, to 'follow the child, ' rather than adapt their kids to a contemporary one-size-fits-all mold."-- Publishers Weekly "As scientifically sound as it is humane." -- HAROLD S. KOPLEWICZ , M.D., chairman, Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, New York University School of Medicine, and founder and director, New York University Child Study Center " Nurture the Nature is thorough, thoughtful, accurate, and brilliant. The science is sound and well researched." -- DANIEL AMEN , M.D., author, Making a Good Brain Great " Nurture the Nature should be mandatory reading for parents who want their children to mature into happy, healthy human beings--which is of course all of us!" -- DR. TRACEY J.
