Download or read book Chess Parenting written by Fritz Blackburn and published by . This book was released on 2018-07-24 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our children never reach their potential because we stifle them into becoming copies of ourselves and of our culture, brainwashing them into religious fanaticism and consumerism. Respectful parenting allows a child to walk her own path to experience freedom and choice, and chess is a perfect medium to do this safely but effectively. It teaches values like courage and patience, like truth and observation, discipline and caution - from a self-motivated platform where the parent can be on real terms with her son or daughter. Chess-Parenting relates the experiences of a single dad and chess-player, while concisely carving out in Taoist terms what early human development is all about. Those "values" that matter today as much as in Plato's time are what develops the mind and soul of young people, and chess cultivates these values masterfully and by children's own motivation. The much greater respect for children demanded by the author is the central contribution he makes to modern parenting. Another is his prescription for raising IQ and accelerated mind development by transcending Division and finding Oneness.

Download or read book Chess Parenting written by Fritz Blackburn and published by Fritz Blackburn. This book was released on 2024-07-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Unschooling book 'Chess-parenting' presents a revolutionary concept to parenting that is based on mutual respect and on the fact that parents too need to grow up! It criticizes the way we manipulate and program our children to become copies of ourselves and of society, and how we expect them to obey and live by values we never teach or demonstrate. Chess, as a means to establish some equality and to give kids a chance to win, is shown to develop values such as truth, courage, commitment and self-responsibility. This lifts kids beyond mere opinion and indoctrination and enables them to establish true confidence, a sense of reality and a relationship with the parent where the parent is no god-like figure. Western society does not value truth and it is disrespectful to children, which is the cause of most problems with 'crazy teenagers', who simply want to find their own way. Chess fosters respect and it naturally evolves those attitudes towards life that build character and that achieve naturally all we try to force down our children's throat! It is the way to competence, for both parent and child!
