Summary of Deborah MacNamara, Ph.D.'s Rest, Play, Grow

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Children are magical creatures that grow right under our noses. They are unable to grasp the big picture, and their questions reveal the newly discovered parts. They see the world as not being constrained by adult logic.

#2 The question of how we raise children is both daunting and fascinating. We have raised children according to cultural tradition and in keeping with the context we find ourselves in. But today, we have a lot of conflicting advice on how to raise psychologically healthy children.

#3 The developmental/relational approach is like gardening. Parents want to understand what conditions their children grow best in, and they focus on developing strong adult-child relationships that provide the foundation for full human potential.

#4 The most important thing for children is having at least one adult who can satisfy their need for contact and closeness. When children’s relational needs are satisfied, they will be released to their play, where they will grow and develop.
