Harold S. Koplewitz: The child who does not collapse
This is a parenting guide for children aged 5 to 19 published by the world-renowned medical institution, the Child Mind Institute. It explains the optimal method for protecting our children from the anxiety and stress that seem to be the fate of modern society—without resorting to overprotection—by likening it to architectural scaffolding. Scaffolding refers to the temporary structures installed around a building during construction. It rises alongside the building at the same pace, providing a framework and acting as a safety net, until the structure is completed and dismantled. The author likens parenting to architecture, the child to the building, and the parents to the scaffolding. This implies that the role of a parent is to protect and provide a stable framework from close proximity until the child becomes an adult, but to eventually step back so that the child can stand on their own. In particular, the author emphasizes that, just as scaffolding does in architecture, parents should not attempt to dictate the speed or direction of a child's growth. Whether it becomes a skyscraper soaring high into the sky or a golf course stretching endlessly sideways, scaffolding merely surrounds and protects the structure; it cannot limit its speed or direction. The author presents 10 parenting strategies aligned with the stages of building. Aiming for an emotionally stable child who does not crumble under anxiety and stress, the book provides detailed guidance on how parents should support their children in daily life and crisis situations. Blending information and case studies accumulated by the Child Psychiatry Research Institute through thousands of clinical trials with the success and failure stories of affiliated doctors and psychologists as parents, this book will serve as valuable advice and comfort to the weary parents of our time.
