Babysitting, Day Care & Child Care - Wanting What's Best: Parenting, Privilege, and Building a Just World

Description

Book Synopsis: When privileged parents say that they “want what's best” for their child, they don't consciously add “and not for other children.” Yet the practical effect of parents with privilege relentlessly pursuing their own child's interests is that other children are left behind. Author Sarah W. Jaffe interviewed dozens of parents who are resisting the cultural pressures to seek "the best" for only their kids while navigating some of the major decisions that parents make—about childcare, schools, how they use their time and money, and the legacy they hope to leave their kids. These may not feel like political decisions, but each either contributes to a system where only a few can thrive or takes a small step toward dismantling it. Our children are watching and learning from how we make choices. How we treat the people who care for them tells them how they should behave as a boss. Where we send them to school teaches them about their place in the world. How we spend our time and money sends them more powerful messages about how to spend theirs than any lecture about the importance of giving back or gratitude ever could. What does it look like to fight for other people's children as if the future of your own child depended on it? What choices would you make?    Read more

Looking to be the best parent you can be? Discover the eye-opening book, "Wanting What's Best: Parenting, Privilege, and Building a Just World". Written by renowned author Sarah W. Jaffe, this must-read book challenges the norm of privileged parents solely focusing on their own child's interests while neglecting the needs of others.

Through in-depth interviews with parents who are breaking free from cultural pressures, Jaffe explores the important decisions every parent faces - from childcare to schools, time and money management, and leaving a legacy. Each decision you make as a parent either perpetuates a system that benefits only a few or takes a step towards dismantling it.

Our children are always watching and learning from us. How we treat their caregivers sets an example for how they should behave as future leaders. The schools we choose for them shape their understanding of the world. And how we spend our time and money sends a powerful message about priorities, stronger than any lecture on gratitude.
