I feel this book works more as a primer on the importance of recognizing the importance of self-care in education and recognizing how bias manifests in the classroom than it does exploring specifically the strategies that make an effective warm demander. The ideological framework is here and that framework is important, but the section actually dedicated to being a warm demander is rather slim in regard to the overall work.
