This book is well written and feels like a really good basis to guide the evolvement of ones parenting style with your child into the future.
I like it’s positive emphasis, and lack of the cliched modern stance of “oh, just send them to boarding school when they hit 12 as they “become” unbearable”.
Lets embrace our kids changes and celebrate milestones instead of mourn the loss of what is past, which i think is very destructive for any good relationships future.
