This book was referred to myself from my children's therapist. The book offered so much insight into how a child thinks and what kind of response they are usually looking for. What's nice about this book is that it gives examples of certain situations, and I saw myself in them - and made the necessary corrections. I feel that I've become a better parent after reading the book, and the kids seem to be better adjusted because their mom is not so stressed out over the smaller things in life!
