Michaeleen Doucleff – författare

In this ground-breaking book, Dr. Michaeleen Doucleff looks back to our ancestors for solutions to our failing modern-day parenting theories.When Dr Michaeleen Doucleff became a mother, she examined the studies behind modern parenting guidance and found that the evidence was frustratingly limited, and the conclusions often ineffective. She began to wonder if an opposite approach was needed – one founded on traditional wisdom, like the knowledge and experience passed down over hundreds, even thousands, of years within ancient cultures.With her young daughter in tow, she travelled across the world to observe and practice parenting strategies alongside families in three of the world's most venerable communities: Maya families in Mexico, Inuit families above the Arctic Circle, and Hadza families in Tanzania.Dr Doucleff soon learned that these cultures don't have the same problems with children that Western parents do. Most strikingly, parents build a relationship with young children that is vastly different from the one many Western parents develop, built on co-operation instead of control; trust instead of fear; and personalised needs instead of standardised development milestones.In Hunt, Gather, Parent, Doucleff introduces us to families where parents help little ones learn to control their emotions and reduce tantrums by the parents themselves controlling their own frustrations; foster self-sufficiency by safely giving kids the autonomy to manage risks and explore their limits; and motivate children to help with chores without using bribes or threats. Doucleff also talks to psychologists, neuroscientists, anthropologists, and sociologists and explains how the tools and tips can impact children's mental health and development.Packed with practical takeaways, Hunt, Gather, Parent helps us rethink the ways we relate to our children, and reveals a universal parenting paradigm adapted for modern families.

The revolutionary new book from the international bestselling author of Hunt, Gather, Parent. Why do video games include missions? Why does junk food give us cravings? Because they tap into dopamine, the neurotransmitter that motivates us to want more. Companies and developers use knowledge of how dopamine affects our children’s brains to sell them screens, games and ultra-processed foods. In Dopamine Kids, Michaeleen Doucleff, bestselling author of Hunt, Gather, Parent, empowers parents with this same knowledge, but instead shows how to utilize it to reinforce positive habits, activities and lifestyle choices.Through five simple and science-backed steps, she demonstrates how to identify unhealthy hobbies and re-direct your child’s motivation to build positive ones. Swap binge-watching with reading. Replace the excitement of screens with the thrill of outdoor activities. Substitute ultra-processed foods for the joy of baking.By understanding and harnessing the power of dopamine, we can help our children build independence, concentration, strong mental health and, above all, thrive in an ever-changing world.

From the bestselling author of Hunt, Gather, Parent comes a revolutionary five-step guidepacked with practical, science-backed strategiesthat shows you how to raise confident, happy kids while breaking the cycle of overdependence on screens and ultraprocessed foods. Dopamine Kids promises to wean families from two modern scourges: screens and ultraprocessed foods...in essence, promising a solution to the problems laid out by Jonathan Haidt in The Anxious Generation....On the other side, readers can discover lives full of authentic pleasure. The New York TimesWhen Dr. Michaeleen Doucleff decided to address her familys screen time and dependence on processed foods, she found that parenting advice around these products is woefully outdated, hinging on studies of dopamine that date back twenty to fifty years. But new research reveals that contrary to what weve been told, dopamine isnt the molecule of happiness and pleasure. Instead, dopamine gives us motivation, and can drive us to engage in activities that we dont actually enjoyactivities that can make us feel sad, lonely, anxious, and depressed. What works, Doucleff found, isnt depriving children of pleasure, but bringing more joy and pleasure back into their lives. Merging modern neuroscience and psychology with practical experience, Dopamine Kids is a five-step operating manual for habit remodeling that is tailored for parents and their children, shifting the power dynamic back to families. Instead of devices and foods controlling us, we can control them, retraining children's brains so they want and reach for activities and foods that leave them feeling good afterward. Youll learn how to: - Create boundaries around screens and ultraprocessed foods that not only work but that kids enjoy; - Replace screen time with equally enticing activities; - Set up your routine, so that so that the healthy options become the default without negotiation or struggle; - Celebrate your familys choices before, during, and after trying new hobbies, and, finally, - Transform your home into a screen-free sanctuary that protects conversations, focus, sleep, and adventure. After reading Dopamine Kids, you will be empowered to create habits that genuinely fulfill your familys biological and emotional needs, to bring true satisfaction and purpose to their lives, and to improve their behavior, happiness, and confidence. The Anxious Generation alerted you to the danger of screens, but the demands of the twenty-first century require that you use them anyway. Dopamine Kids is your handbook for solving that fundamental problem of our timesand for teaching your kids to have a healthy relationship with technology and food.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The oldest cultures in the world have mastered the art of raising happy, well-adjusted children. What can we learn from them? “Hunt, Gather, Parent is full of smart ideas that I immediately wanted to force on my own kids.” —Pamela Druckerman, The New York Times Book Review When Dr. Michaeleen Doucleff becomes a mother, she examines the studies behind modern parenting guidance and finds the evidence frustratingly limited and often ineffective. Curious to learn about more effective parenting approaches, she visits a Maya village in the Yucatán Peninsula. There she encounters moms and dads who parent in a totally different way than we do—and raise extraordinarily kind, generous, and helpful children without yelling, nagging, or issuing timeouts. What else, Doucleff wonders, are Western parents missing out on? In Hunt, Gather, Parent, Doucleff sets out with her three-year-old daughter in tow to learn and practice parenting strategies from families in three of the world’s most venerable communities: Maya families in Mexico, Inuit families above the Arctic Circle, and Hadzabe families in Tanzania. She sees that these cultures don’t have the same problems with children that Western parents do. Most strikingly, parents build a relationship with young children that is vastly different from the one many Western parents develop—it’s built on cooperation instead of control, trust instead of fear, and personalized needs instead of standardized development milestones. Maya parents are masters at raising cooperative children. Without resorting to bribes, threats, or chore charts, Maya parents rear loyal helpers by including kids in household tasks from the time they can walk. Inuit parents have developed a remarkably effective approach for teaching children emotional intelligence. When kids cry, hit, or act out, Inuit parents respond with a calm, gentle demeanor that teaches children how to settle themselves down and think before acting. Hadzabe parents are experts on raising confident, self-driven kids with a simple tool that protects children from stress and anxiety, so common now among American kids. Not only does Doucleff live with families and observe their methods firsthand, she also applies them with her own daughter, with striking results. She learns to discipline without yelling. She talks to psychologists, neuroscientists, anthropologists, and sociologists and explains how these strategies can impact children’s mental health and development. Filled with practical takeaways that parents can implement immediately, Hunt, Gather, Parent helps us rethink the ways we relate to our children, and reveals a universal parenting paradigm adapted for American families.

Steering clear of quantum mechanics and product operators, "Pocket Guide to Biomolecular NMR" uses intuitive, concrete analogies to explain the theory required to understand NMR studies on the structure and dynamics of biological macromolecules. For example, instead of explaining nuclear spin with angular momentum equations or Hamiltonians, the books describes nuclei as "bells" in a choir, ringing at specific frequencies depending on the atom type and their surrounding electromagnetic environment.This simple bell analogy, which is employed throughout the book, has never been used to explain NMR and makes it surprisingly easy to learn complex, bewildering NMR concepts, such as dipole-dipole coupling and CPMG pulse sequences. Other topics covered include the basics of multi-dimensional NMR, relaxation theory, and Model Free analysis. The small size and fast pace of “Pocket Guide to Biomolecular NMR” makes the book a perfect companion to traditional biophysics and biochemistry textbooks, but the book's unique perspective will provide even seasoned spectroscopists with new insights and handy “thought” short-cuts.

Kun tri Michaeleen Doucleff tuli äidiksi, hän kahlasi läpi tuhansia sivuja tuoreimpia lastenkasvatusoppaita - löytämättä etsimäänsä. Moderni länsimainen vanhemmuus näytti rajoittuneelta. Mikseivät länsimaiset kasvatusopittoimi? Mistä löytyisi parempia keinoja?Doucleff otti kolmivuotiaan tyttärensä kainaloonsa ja lähti tutkimusmatkalle. Se vei hänet kolmeen erilaiseen maailmankolkkaan: Meksikoon maya-perheeseen, napapiirin pohjoispuolelle inuiittien luo ja Tansaniaan hadzabe-heimon hoteisiin. Kaikilta hän löysi omanlaisiaan kasvatusoppeja ja -tapoja. Sekä avuliaita, iloisia ja tasapainoisia lapsia.Doucleff kokeili oppeja itse sovittaen niitä länsimaiseen elämäntyyliin, ja kirjassaan hän kertoo ällistyttävistä tuloksista. Doucleff haastattelee psykologeja, neurotieteilijöitä, antropologeja ja sosiologeja, jotka selittävät, kuinka alkuperäiskansojen opit vaikuttavat lasten kehitykseen ja itsetuntoon.Metsästäjä, keräilijä, kasvattaja tarjoaa tuoreita ja yllättäviä näkökulmia lastenkasvatukseen. Kirja on pullollaan toimivia ja helppoja käytännön vinkkejä vanhemmille.
