¡Me encantó! Capítulo 10 debiera ser leído, sin falta, cada año. Sentí una pequeña inclinación a poner género a las actividades, quizás sea por estar escrito en los '90; O quizás, coincidentemente, son sólo los ejemplos.

I haven't really read many parenting books, but this one was in that little parent section over by the little kid's play area at the library. I was skimming it (among others) and decided to take it home. It has ended up being one of my most recommended books. Nicely written, concise and clear, with good points.

I happened to pick this up as I was leaving the little kids area in the library. Excellent book about just being more kind to your kids. It was a good reminder of what kind of parent I want to be.
