Да станем родителите, които искаме да бъдем. Родителите често следват възпитателни подходи, които целят да коригират детското поведение, а не да направят от децата добри хора; да ги научат на подчинение, а не на себерегулация.

Тази книга представя възпитателен модел, който работи в еднаква степен за развитието на детето и на родителя. Разбирайки емоционалните нужди на детето си, родителите могат да подобрят не само ... |
