Title: Not impressed by the philosophy.
Product review: The writers claim that children will naturally come to the right conclusions about how they should behave if simply listened to, and allowed to feel whatever they are naturally feeling. This simply isn't true. Most children need more guidance. I agree it should be gently done, but I disagree that parents should never lecture or "preach to" their children. If you never tell them what is good, how can they choose to be good? Overall, the writers had good intentions, but their technique is a bit on the floofy-feely side. The result would surely be completly undisciplined children. A better book is "1-2-3 Magic: Effective Discipline for Children 2-12" by Thomas W. Phelan. It is still gentle, but firm. Kids aren't left to flounder about how they ought to behave to be happy.
