Anyone wanting to access some sound thinking on parenting as it relates to children as "people" should definitely read this...In fact it is actually an excellent books about good human relationships really! The book really helps you to understand the myth basis of so many "parenting" books, which tend to focus on behaviours and not the relationship with your child.

I have read (too?) many books about parenting and this has to be my all time favourite. The reader must enjoy reading about research and studies to appreciate this book. After being a parent for a while i reliesed that rewards/punishment didn't work and gave children an 'what's in it for me' attitude. It was great to have Kohn articulate why this is from many differing perspectives. The chapter on principles of unconditional parenting and the practises contained in it has provided an enormous boost to my parenting.

Kohn's approach to parenting intends to convey unconditional love at all times to children. To this end rewards and punishments are put aside - you won't find the naughty step or star charts advocated here. I found the book a frustrating read at times, bogged down in why Kohn thinks you shouldn’t use techniques that are widely advocated elsewhere without yet providing information on his way. I feel the man could sell ice to Eskimos, but I think this book is definitely food for thought and a good introduction to a completely new approach to parenting.

A must read for all parents. It will make you uncomfortable at best as it challenges modern wisdom of the manipulation our children are subjected to over the world.

Lovely book. Well worth the read. It really makes you re-evaluate things identifying the way you were brought up and how that has shaped the way you may be parenting at the moment.
