raising our children, raising ourselves by naomi aldort-- good?
Dr. Gordon Neufeld (author of Hold On To Your Kids)--
Unconditional Parenting. "I remember disagreeing with just how far he went in some cases--or maybe that was from the session I attended with Alfie Kohn on the book. Can't remember" In any case, always remember this: Just because somebody writes it and absolutely believes in it doesn't mean that the person *is* right nor does it mean that it's the right thing for you to jump into.....Daisy...another comment: I am in agreement with Unconditional Parenting and it is one part of asuccessful parenting style, but not the end-all. I think you have to be inthe "right space" parenting-wise to really benefit from it though. I thinkif you are looking for specific tools, this book can be very frustrating.Yet, I think you can keep it's message in mind at all times while you workthrough your own parenting style. I find almost all discipline/parentin gproblems have their root in myself or my husband, not our children. So, ifwe are having a parenting issue, we get 99% positive effects if wecritically evaluate ourselves. This book helped me see that and focus moreon me and the message I was presenting to my children rather than focusingon a behavior that I didn't want. Another book that I really really likedwas Raising Our Children, Raising Ourselves. It may help at the next levelafter reading Unconditional Parenting.Hope this is helpful at some level.Take care,Amy
