Stephen Williams is trying his best to make his mark as a tips and techniques writer in a number of fields like health, relationships, and also business. That is why  How to Be Your Kids Buddy - Build the Relationship As Early As Now is a good book telling you all about how you can foster a long-lasting and nurturing relationship with your children from day go itself. Even though Stephen talks about the psychology of a relationship and what it takes for it to grow and mature, there are some points which one would want to look at, especially when one is trying to build a rapport with a child.Remember that every social group can only manage to live on discipline and rules laid out stringently. These rules should be followed strictly. Look at a pack of wolves; all of them are under an alpha Wolf who is the leader. It is the duty of the family to teach the wolf cubs the wolf pack rules.Mother Wolf and father Wolf care for their cubs, feed them, love and cherish them. Father Wolf may also play with his cubs while disciplining them when they become too rambunctious. He knows the power of discipline. These Wolf cubs are going to be properly disciplined members of the pack, when they grow up. On the other hand, human beings are very casual about disciplining their children. A number of parents are more bothered about disturbing  the sensitive psyche of their kids, just because they had read a number of books on child psychology. This is definitely not the way in which you bring up a child. A child needs to know that it is secure in the love and affection of its parents. It should also know that the parents are the alpha of the group and they do not brook any sort of indiscipline on the part of the Cubs.Children react positively to discipline and knowing that the adults in their group know exactly what needs to be done. Children like the adults in their group to be in charge. If the adult is not capable of handling a child, and gives way to its tantrums, the problem is with the adult because he is too lazy to discipline the child and to enforce ground rules.Some countries have reached this stage when a child can ring up the police, because it is being disciplined by its parents. It can yell parent brutality! There is going to be some social do-gooders somewhere yelling, no no no, you do not discipline the child, because it is not good for it, and you are not fit to be a parent.So what happens? Parents are so scared of disciplining their children that they allow them to have their own way in everything. They do not dare reprimand them because there is someone threatening to take their children away from them. That someone has read a number of books on child psychology and considers himself or herself the guru on how a child should be brought up properly! This is society's way of encouraging social spoiled misfits in the future.What they do not know is this is the best way in which a child grows up to be an undisciplined unruly, and spoiled brat because it knows it just has to shriek to get what it wants. That particular country is going to be faced with a number of mixed up, spoiled and immature adults who cannot make a responsible decision because they never had a good adult example before them when they were young.This book is good for all those people who want to get tips on how to understand the psyche of a child. But on the other hand, remember not to allow the child to cross disciplinary and permissible limits. Be his friend, but do not be the medium for him growing up to be a spoiled and mixed up tiresome brat.
