Popular psychology for parents

From the authors

Dear parents!

In bringing this book to your attention, we would like to make a few preliminary remarks.

First, should parents be psychologists, does the family need psychological knowledge? Yes, they do, and very much. And the knowledge is not so much what needs to be taught and who needs to be educated. Everyone knows this. Parents need knowledge of methods, techniques of upbringing, psychology of influencing the child. However, not only the knowledge of how to communicate in the family, but also how to behave when it is difficult, when you made a mistake, when you were in a hurry and were wrong...

Secondly, we tried to ensure that the conversation with parents about the psychology of parenting was honest. We did not want to create the illusion that psychology knows everything that there are no secrets for psychology in the upbringing and development of children.

Of course, psychological science knows a lot about the laws of a child's education, about the characteristic age features of his development. In recent years, scientific ideas about relationships in the family, about the patterns of communication between children and parents have been significantly enriched. But the mystery that has not yet been solved is the complex, contradictory, sometimes painful, but always creative, always creative process of educating the human personality, the mystery of the elevation of mind and character.

In the face of this ignorance of upbringing, both parents and the science of psychology are in many ways equal. Therefore, we would like the readers of this book not to passively accept psychological advice, not to crave ready-made recipes for all occasions, but to be active, creative like-minded people, allies in the search, spiritual brothers.
