About the book: 2013 / In this book, the author stands up for children and opposes many world-famous parenting experts who give parents advice on how to get children to behave well. The author shows us that our main goal as parents is not to discipline our children and instill in them a number of useful skills, but to satisfy their natural need for affection, for emotional and physical contact. The book examines in detail questions that often worry young parents: why do babies ask to be held, why do they not like to sleep alone, when will a child become independent, when can you stop using diapers, should you praise and punish children, should you send them to kindergarten? what is socialization and many others.
