- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5While some techniques in this book are helpful (I especially like the idea of acknowledging and giving name to children's emotions rather than instantly criticizing/ rooting for solutions), the idea that their is never any place for punishment is absurd. Children need boundaries, and need assurance when those boundaries are transgressed that there are consequences. Without learning that cause and effect in childhood, they'll learn it as an adult where the consequences are permanent and life-altering. Not offering this to your child is tantamount to child abuse, in my opinion. There is a difference between level-headed "because you didn't listen, the consequence is...." and running around in a rage smacking your kids when they disobey. Failing to distinguish between these polar opposites shows the authors' dishonest approach to punishment as a dynamic teaching tool for children.
