This book was referenced in one of the French parenting books so I requested it in the library and a few chapters in, I realized I needed to own this book. Almost every other page is highlighted or underlined in some way. The author is a Jewish psychologist, she brings in a lot of religious and Biblical aspects to her parenting philosophy and it just spoke to me and how I want to parent. Definitely a book I recommend for anyone who wants to read a 'parenting' book.
