Curious to learn about more effective parenting approaches, she visits a Maya village in the Yucatán Peninsula. There she encounters mums and dads who parent in a totally different way than we do—and raise extraordinarily kind, generous, and helpful children without yelling, nagging, or issuing timeouts. What else, Doucleff wonders, are Western parents missing out on?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eHunt, Gather, Parent\u003c\/i\u003e, Doucleff sets out with her three-year-old daughter in tow to learn and practice parenting strategies from families in three of the world's most venerable communities: Maya families in Mexico, Inuit families above the Arctic Circle, and Hadzabe families in Tanzania. She sees that these cultures don't have the same problems with children that Western parents do. Most strikingly, parents build a relationship with young children that is vastly different from the one many Western parents develop—it's built on cooperation instead of control, trust instead of fear, and personalised needs instead of standardised development milestones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMaya parents are masters at raising cooperative children. Without resorting to bribes, threats, or chore charts, Maya parents rear loyal helpers by including kids in household tasks from the time they can walk. Inuit parents have developed a remarkably effective approach for teaching children emotional intelligence. When kids cry, hit, or act out, Inuit parents respond with a calm, gentle demeanour that teaches children how to settle themselves down and think before acting. Hadzabe parents are experts on raising confident, self-driven kids with a simple tool that protects children from stress and anxiety, so common now among American kids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNot only does Doucleff live with families and observe their methods firsthand, but she also applies them with her own daughter, with striking results. She learns to discipline without yelling.
