What Readers are Saying: "This is a must have parenting handbook. I have suggested this to many of my coaching clients and they have reported about having found useful strategies to build a relationship with their child which celebrate uniqueness, strengths and feedback. Children need a loving environment for optimal development, and strategies that invite the parents to see the child's world from the child's perspective, is helpful. I love how this book emphasizes focus on letting children make their own choices at all times, and allowing adults to be silly and play!"
