Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

You didn't choose most of what you believe about raising kids. You inherited it from how you were disciplined, comforted (or not), praised, and talked to as a child, absorbed so early that it stopped feeling like a belief and started feeling like common sense.

99 Lies About Parenting & Childhood Beliefs takes on 99 of the most widely accepted assumptions about raising children and the childhood beliefs adults carry into their own parenting, from "spanking is the most effective discipline" and "praising kids constantly builds confidence" to "a strong family never needs to adapt its own rules." Each entry follows a simple, sharp structure: the lie, why it took hold, and the truth that replaces it, grounded in general, well-established child development and family psychology consensus rather than any single parenting trend claiming to be the only right way.

This isn't a book that tells you how to parent. It stays neutral on parenting styles and family structures, refuses prescriptive "you must" commands, and instead does something more useful: it shows you where your assumptions actually came from, so you can decide deliberately, for the first time, whether to keep them or let them go.

Organized into 11 chapters covering discipline, emotional development, praise and motivation, screen time, independence, sibling relationships, education, communication, modern parenting pressure, inherited childhood beliefs, and family traditions, with a self-test quiz after every chapter and a rapid-fire Myth vs. Truth section at the end.

Funny in places, quietly unsettling in others, and useful throughout, this is the book for anyone raising kids, or still making sense of how they themselves were raised.
