This is not just a book about how to raise children well, but how to live a good life and have a stable world.  I found myself constantly moved by the author's kindness, wisdom and understanding of what people--not just children- need.  I reflected so many times on my own childhood, what I received and what I didn't, and how I raised my daughter, what I gave her and what I didn't but wished I had.  I think this is the first book new parents should read and reread and reread.  It is written by the only kind of authority on child rearing there is, someone who has been in the parental trenches and come through with two happy, productive and well-loved kids.  There are lessons here for all of us.  What she really writes about but does not explicitly express, is have compassion and understanding for your loved ones.  That can only come from a compassionate and understanding soul.  BUY thIS.  TELL YOUR FRIENDS.
