Starred review from May 15, 2014
The perception of today's parents as micromanagers who steal all the oxygen is often correct, and as the research trickles in, we are seeing a generation of kids who are lacking internal control. Award-winning physician Kang (Univ. of British Columbia) shows parents how these kids--likened to tiger cubs--are "increasingly dependent on external rewards to stay motivated" and how parents are turning their cubs into the "overworked, middle-aged." Kang views this tiger style as "underparenting" that includes too much "pushing, pulling, directing, instructing, scheduling, and monitoring." Seeking to right the scales, the author shows parents how to develop skills such as creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration--what she calls the CQ, or cognitive quotient. By encouraging parents to model dolphins, who instruct by play, exploration, social bonds, altruism, contribution, and family and community values, kids will strengthen their own internal compass and have a stronger core with a greater chance at personal success and happiness. VERDICT Combining scientific research with personal stories, Kang has a soothing and encouraging tone that will appeal to many readers.
