متاسفانه بعضي از دستوراتش متناسب با زندگي ايراني نيست والبته اين شايد مشكل ما باشد نه نويسنده

تشویق تنبیه محور بود رهاش کردم. شاید دوباره بهش برگردم و زمانه بهم ثابت کنه به تشویق و تنبیه نیاز دارم. الان ولی نه.

Excelente. Un poco conductista, pero altamente recomendable para consultar cuando se cree que se ha intentado todo con los peques. Algunas ideas parecían descabelladas, pero me han resultado increíblemente útiles. No dejo de consultarlo. Lo recomiendo.

This is the book my mom raised from. It's a good book and it's suppose to teach you how to take care of your kids so you don't end up like a deadbeat, i found it equally works on adults.
