In The Scaffold Effect, he presents a groundbreaking parenting philosophy and strategies aimed at preventing and counteracting the widespread anxiety and emotional fragility prevalent in children and teenagers today. Just as sturdy scaffolding is necessary when erecting a building and will come down when the structure grows stable, good parenting provides children with steady and warm emotional nourishment on the path toward independence. However, constant parental problem-solving and involvement can have the opposite effect, enabling fragility and anxiety over time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn The Scaffold Effect, 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. He explains the building blocks of an effective scaffold from infancy through young adulthood, guiding parents through strategies for raising empowered, capable people. Laying 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, you will forge a bond that will survive adolescence and grow stronger into adulthood. Empower growth: Skyscraper or sprawling bungalow - the style of your child's construct.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 280g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 x 215 x 25 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781529363241\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harold Koplewicz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44097592656122,"sku":"9781529363241","price":9.27,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1659728993110_book.jpg?v=1659984070","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/scaffold-parenting-raising-resilient-selfreliant-and-secure-kids-in-an-age-of-anxiety-9781529363241","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
