This book is extremely difficult to review because of its very structure and objective. The structure is a simple common sense succession of chapters from simple to more complex, from basic to more elaborate. The very type of “manual” for simple people that are often called “dummies.” The objective is to be practical and efficient with the readers and give them a simple perspective with a lot of concrete suggestions if not recipes. As such, a book of practical recipes, it may look positive. Since most suggestions are also common sense and based essentially on love and the expression of love as the main lever or tool in the dealing with the problem of strong-willed children, it sounds quite acceptable. You may though find a background that is not said directly when “disciplining a child” is considered. The author says: “discipline being the only physical contact” (and he/she mentions spanking twice) not to reject that corporal punishment but to advocate physical contact to express love and communication. Never in the book I found a rejection of corporal punishments and I found a heavy corpus of suggestions about discipline and disciplining a strong-willed child. Though the author rejects the “authoritarian” approach he/she advocates what he/she calls the “authoritative” approach, but he/she rejects the other two approaches he/she calls “permissive” and “uninvolved.” When we look at the “authoritative” approach we find that a parent has to explain and make clear to the child why he is “spanked” or punished in a way or another in a neutral voice and with as little emotional involvement as possible, and then a parent has to wait for the situation to clear up and start having an empathetic and loving discussion with the child about what happened. But this is only the surface of the book.
