Reviews

[Andrey Oleynik]

Интересный подход к воспитанию детей с точки зрения психологии. На целый ряд ситуаций с ребенком высказана полезная точка зрения. Не со всеми подходами автора я согласен, но это стоит принять к сведению. Интересно написано про "плохие родители" или "плохой ребенок". Книга немного сумбурная и хаотическая. В конце нет никакого вывода, может показаться, что в руки попал недопереведенный или какой-то обрубленный вариант.

[Leslie Anne]

Started out aright. I like the idea of responding to what the child needs rather than to what they are doing. I think it ended on a bunch of tangents that didn't really relate to the topic.
