I had this book recommended to me but found it disappointing. It fails to take into consideration any other worldview besides the author's own humanistic, evolutionary perspective. While there are some valuable tricks and techniques, this book is not for everyone. Borrow it before you buy it.

Parents who follow the philosophy of attachment parenting may be familiar with Naomi Aldort and her articles. Whether you have heard of her or not, this is a great book for developing a respectful relationship with your child.

Does the thought of no more punishments, bribes, distraction-techniques and manipulation appeal to you? Then you need to get this book.

What an awesome book. Written by an author who's focus is Attachment Parenting (but you don't need to be into AP - co-sleeping/demand breastfeeding etc). It totally takes the pressure off parenting and off our relationship with our children. Such an easy read too and gives practical examples on how to deal with certain situations and gives a different perspective to most mainstream parenting books/TV programmes. Her discipline philosophy is not about punishment and as a lot more parenting books are advising - praise is not necessarily a good thing. Well worth the read.
