Reviews

[Sue · Rating 4 out of 5]

An excellent book outlining the 'Taking Children Seriously' philosophy from a common sense viewpoint. As a Christian I don't entirely agree with all of it, but it's still very interesting to read a book of this sort which asks many questions and promotes a view of parenting very different from the traditional.
