One of my very favorite books. It is inspiring to parent from the heart and not through coercion and punishment. To empower through love and to treat our loved ones as the treasures that they are. I just reread this from my own bookshelf and have just sent it out as a gift to friends with young children. Love this. Highly, highly recommended.
