Never-ending parental problem-solving and involvement can have the opposite effect, enabling fragility and anxiety over time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Scaffold Effect\u003c\/i\u003e, world-renowned child psychiatrist Harold Koplewicz introduces the powerful and clinically tested idea that this deliberate build-up and then gradual loosening of parental support is the single most effective way to encourage kids to climb higher, try new things, grow from mistakes and develop character and strength. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExplaining the building blocks of an effective scaffold from infancy through young adulthood, he expertly guides parents through the strategies for raising empowered, capable people, including:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Lay a solid foundation: The parent-child relationship needs to be made from the concrete mixture of emotional availability, positive reinforcement, clear messaging, and consistent rules. From this supportive base, your will forge a bond that will survive adolescence and grow stronger into adulthood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Empower growth: Skyscraper or sprawling bungalow - the style of your child's construction is not up to you! Scaffold parenting validates and accommodates the shape the child is growing into. Any effort to block or control growth will actually stunt it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Stay on their level: Imagine being on the ground floor of a house and trying to talk to someone on the roof. The person on the roof will have to 'talk down' to you or yell. If your child's building and your scaffold are on the same level, you can speak directly, look each other in the eye, and keep the lines of communication open.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on Dr Koplewicz's decades of clinical and personal experience, \u003ci\u003eThe Scaffold Effect\u003c\/i\u003e is a compassionate, smart and essential guide for the ages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll the author's proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to the Child Mind Institute.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 460g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 164 x 242 x 30 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781529363227\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harold Koplewicz","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44097592623354,"sku":"9781529363227","price":14.28,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/196d003eb2509297f96da6f7cac188d4.jpg?v=1621207805","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/scaffold-effect-raising-resilient-self-reliant-and-secure-kids-in-an-age-of-anxiety","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
