About RAISING THE CAPABLE CHILD By Dr. Toye Oyelese

This book comes from experience, not research. I raised two sons using these frameworks. They became capable adults. That's my evidence. I have no controlled studies, no peer-reviewed publications, no academic credentials in child development or psychology. I'm a family physician who paid attention to what worked. What I offer here are thinking tools - frameworks that helped me navigate parenting decisions consistently over thirty years. They're grounded in my understanding of Erikson's developmental stages and my own observation, but I make no academic claims about them. Every child is different. Every family operates in different circumstances. Every parent brings their own history, values, and constraints. The frameworks in this book are meant to help you think through your situations, not to prescribe universal solutions. These frameworks work - not because they guarantee results, but because they give you a way to think clearly when parenting feels chaotic. They helped me. They may help you.That's the honest claim I can make.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
