Description

This accessible guide walks readers through the everyday challenges of raising children, from early discipline and the development of reasoning to the spark of imagination that fuels play and learning. Drawing on the latest findings in psychology and biology, the author presents practical insights on topics such as obedience, social interaction, and the emerging sense of self during adolescence, all illustrated with twelve clear drawings that bring the concepts to life.

The revised edition adds fresh material on sex education and explores how modern psychological research aligns with democratic values of cooperation and respect. Written for busy parents and teachers, the book emphasizes the importance of understanding a child’s mind to reduce friction and foster a harmonious, supportive household. It offers concrete suggestions that help adults respond with empathy, making the journey of child‑rearing both smoother and more rewarding.
