子どもが育つ魔法の言葉 [単行本]

「けなされて育つと、子どもは、人をけなすようになる／とげとげした家庭で育つと、子どもは乱暴になる／『かわいそうな子だ』と言って育てると、子どもはみじめな気持ちになる／愛してあげれば、子どもは、人を愛することを学ぶ／誉めてあげれば、子どもは、明るい子に育つ／親が正直であれば、子どもは、正直であることの大切さを知る」（詩「子は親の鏡」より）。　

世界10カ国で愛読される子育ての知恵「子は親の鏡」について書かれた書である。「子は親の鏡」は、米国では、実に多くのお父さん、お母さんに知られ、親しまれている。どうしたら子どもをよい子に育てられるか、どうしたら強い子に育てられるか、どうしたら人を愛する子に育てられるか、という永遠のテーマについて書かれているのだ。そのためには親自身が子どもを守り、励まし、愛することだ、というのであるが、その方法に誰もが共感できる所が、国を超えて愛される所以であると思われる。

けなされて育つと、子どもは人をけなすようになる。愛してあげれば、子どもは人を愛することを学ぶ。世界10カ国で愛読、数百万人が共感した子育ての智恵。

子どもをすくすく育てたい。素直で優しい子、正直で我慢強い子、自分を信じて強く生きていける子になってほしい。親なら誰でもそう願うはず。そんなお父さんお母さんに捧げる子育ての智恵。

Since its publication in 1954, Dorothy Law Nolte's inspirational and educational poem, Children Learn What They Live has been published worldwide, translated into 10 languages, taught in parenting and teaching courses, distributed in doctors offices, and printed on posters and calendars. In Children Learn What They Live: Parenting to Inspire Values, authors Nolte, a teacher and lecturer on family life, and Rachel Harris, Nolte's friend and teaching associate, have taken the classic poem and fleshed it into a small gem of a book. The expanded version maintains the grace and wisdom of the original, yet adds significant insight into the process of encouraging values through example. "If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn," begins the poem (and the book), and so Nolte and Harris suggest effective ways to avoid or prevent constant criticism. As a set of guiding principals, as teaching tools, or as gentle reminders, Nolte and Harris's approach to teaching values to children encapsulates the best in parenting wisdom. --Ericka Lutz

Nolte's familiar poem, written in 1954, is the basis for these essays, beginning with "If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn." Nolte, a teacher and lecturer on family dynamics, and Harris, a psychotherapist, expound upon the simple truths of the original stanzas, which have been widely distributed. Each short chapter?on jealousy, praise, shame, recognition, tolerance, honesty, etc.?expands upon Nolte's original observations, stressing respect and love as the main ingredients for raising happy and emotionally healthy children. Although the power and impact of the original poem drew greatly from its succintness, some readers may benefit from these explications. The most valuable additions are the few real-life examples, including the tale of a 10-year-old boy who sought and received comfort from his mother after he flubbed a piano recital. While the text veers readily into greeting-card prose, the authors' message?to support and encourage children, to be patient and kind?certainly is hard to dispute. This compact, easily read volume doesn't pack the power of Nolte's popular poem, but it will make an inspiring gift for many parents.
