The psychology magazine Psychologies in Spain offers this month the book "The art of educating" by Javier Urra. Both things inseparably by 3 euros In the large format.
Javier Urra is a cynical psychologist, therapist pedagogue, the first Ombudsman for Children in Madrid and author of the famous "The Little Dictator" about which we have already spoken here.
But this book is not a standard text (an essay) but it collects the author's thoughts on education in the form of more than thousand aphorisms, easy to read and invite reflection.
I bought it because I think that for this price, who doesn't have a book to help us with this difficult task? and it is divided by themes: multiple values (overcoming, success, self-esteem, effort, etc.) and aspects of life (friends, time, sport, work, sexuality, violence, etc.).
I choose 4 random aphorisms so that you can get a better idea of the book:
"A child will develop good self-esteem if he feels he is accepted in a total and unconditional manner" "We have accelerated life, we demand early learning. We are robbing children of their childhood" "How many times a slap causes an accident or is the first step in the grim path of abuse?" "The smile of a child well deserves the effort of a life"
As you can see, a book recommended for all those parents who are not afraid to reflect for themselves on parenting and so many aspects of life.
