This book is really wonderful, the advice is down to earth but at the same time runs deep. It is interesting to note that many of the conclusions regarding how children develop better and thrive as adults were pointed out more than a hundred years ago by Maria Montessori.
Children need to build characteristics that will help them succeed in life, and parents need to know how to facilitate.This book provides exactly thatComing from an obvious professional who knows her subject well.Well written and the subject described in easily understandable terms.I recommend all parent read it.
I've just finished this book and found it to be full of invaluable advice. The idea that building 'backbone' (character, self discipline, resourcefulness, self reliance etc) in children will help them lead happier, healthier and more successful lives seems increasingly relevant in an age of pressurized competitive parenting and growing childhood anxiety.It made me re-evaluate how I raise my children and is an absolute must read for any parent.
