Líný rodič - Lenošením a nečinností k lepšímu rodičovství! – Hodgkinson Tom (2026)

Do you sometimes feel that you have become a slave to your children? There is a way out of overly devoted parenting. A simple solution can make your life easier and less expensive, make your children’s lives happier, and help you raise children who are happy and self-reliant. The author calls this solution “lazy parenting,” whose mantra is simple: “Leave them be.” A lazy parent is a good parent. This philosophy may go against the grain of the modern, busy parent, who is constantly told to do more rather than less. Parents everywhere are consumed by the nagging feeling that they are doing everything wrong and need to work harder. The problem, however, is not that we put too little effort into parenting, but that we put in too much. By interfering excessively in their children’s lives, parents prevent them from growing up and taking care of themselves. Step back. Let them live. Welcome to the school of lazy parenting. You will have less work to do, while your children will gain from it, and you will all learn to enjoy everyday life, independence and self-reliance. Tom Hodgkinson, a lazy parent of three, explains how to do this in a humorous and affectionate book that can become an indispensable part of your home. The book is in Czech.
