In this truly groundbreaking book, nationally respected educator Alfie Kohn begins instead by asking \"What do kids need — and how can we meet those needs?\" What follows from that question are ideas for working with children rather than doing things to them.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOne basic need all children have, Kohn argues, is to be loved unconditionally, to know that they will be accepted even if they screw up or fall short. Yet conventional approaches to parenting such as punishments (including \"time-outs\"), rewards (including positive reinforcement), and other forms of control teach children that they are loved only when they please us or impress us. Kohn cites a body of powerful, and largely unknown, research detailing the damage caused by leading children to believe they must earn our approval. That's precisely the message children derive from common discipline techniques, even though it's not the message most parents intend to send.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMore than just another book about discipline, though, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eUnconditional Parenting\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e addresses the ways parents think about, feel about, and act with their children. It invites them to question their most basic assumptions about raising kids while offering a wealth of practical strategies for shifting from \"doing to\" to \"working with\" parenting — including how to replace praise with the unconditional support that children need to grow into healthy, caring, responsible people. This is an eye-opening, paradigm-shattering book that will reconnect readers to their own best instincts and inspire them to become better parents.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e","brand":"Alfie Kohn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45383110885558,"sku":null,"price":815.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/1794\/2710\/files\/111209.jpg?v=1787688327"},{"product_id":"punished-by-rewards","title":"Punished by Rewards","description":"\u003ch5\u003e(NOTE: The Book cover may vary if published by different companies.)\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAuthor: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/booksvilla.com.pk\/collections\/vendors?q=Alfie%20Kohn\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlfie Kohn\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eBinding: Softback\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eCategory: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/booksvilla.com.pk\/collections\/psychology\"\u003ePsychology\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/booksvilla.com.pk\/collections\/non-fiction\"\u003eNon Fiction\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003ePublisher: Local\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003ePages: 529\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAbout the book:\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003ePunished by Rewards: The Trouble with Gold Stars, Incentive Plans, A’s, Praise, and Other Bribes by Alfie Kohn challenges the widespread belief that rewards are an effective way to motivate people. Drawing on psychological research, Kohn argues that incentives such as money, grades, prizes, praise, and other rewards may produce short-term compliance but can undermine genuine interest and intrinsic motivation. The book examines these ideas in parenting, education, and the workplace and proposes approaches based more on cooperation, autonomy, and meaningful engagement.\u003c\/h5\u003e","brand":"Alfie Kohn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45385775546550,"sku":null,"price":1430.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/1794\/2710\/files\/541132.jpg?v=1787840536"},{"product_id":"what-does-it-mean-to-be-well-educated","title":"What Does It Mean to Be Well Educated","description":"\u003ch5\u003e(NOTE: The Book cover may vary if published by different companies.)\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAuthor: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/booksvilla.com.pk\/collections\/vendors?q=Alfie%20Kohn\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlfie Kohn\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eBinding: Softback\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eCategory: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/booksvilla.com.pk\/collections\/education\"\u003eEducation\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/booksvilla.com.pk\/collections\/non-fiction\"\u003eNon Fiction\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003ePublisher: Local\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003ePages: 173\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAbout the book:\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWhat Does It Mean to Be Well Educated? And More Essays on Standards, Grading, and Other Follies by Alfie Kohn is a thought-provoking collection of essays that challenges conventional ideas about education and academic achievement. Kohn questions whether grades, standardized tests, tougher standards, and memorization truly represent meaningful learning. Instead, he encourages readers to consider the deeper purposes of education and emphasizes understanding, curiosity, student engagement, and meaningful learning. The book addresses testing, grading, motivation, school reform, and educational policy, making it particularly relevant for teachers, parents, educators, and anyone interested in how schools can better support students.\u003c\/h5\u003e","brand":"Alfie Kohn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45385777184950,"sku":null,"price":620.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/1794\/2710\/files\/51FhrhGD5AL.jpg?v=1787840455"},{"product_id":"the-schools-our-children-deserve","title":"The Schools Our Children Deserve","description":"\u003ch5\u003e(NOTE: The Book cover may vary if published by different companies.)\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAuthor: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/booksvilla.com.pk\/collections\/vendors?q=Alfie%20Kohn\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlfie Kohn\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eBinding: Softback\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eCategory: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/booksvilla.com.pk\/collections\/education\"\u003eEducation\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/booksvilla.com.pk\/collections\/non-fiction\"\u003eNon Fiction\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003ePublisher: Local\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003ePages: 481\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAbout the book:\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eThe Schools Our Children Deserve: Moving Beyond Traditional Classrooms and “Tougher Standards” by Alfie Kohn challenges conventional approaches to education based on standardized testing, rigid standards, grades, memorization, and teacher-centered instruction.
