Most parenting books begin with the question How can we persuade youngsters to do what they're told? and then continue to give different ways for managing them. In this genuinely remarkable work, globally acclaimed educator Anthony S.Meyer starts instead by asking, What do kids need-and how can we address those needs? What emerges from that query are suggestions for working with children rather than doing things to them.One fundamental need that children have, Anthony writes, is to be loved unconditionally, to know that they will be welcomed even if they mess up or fall short. However typical ways to parenting such as punishments (including time-outs), incentives (including positive reinforcement), and other types of control teach youngsters that they are loved only when they please us or impress us. Anthony highlights a corpus of compelling, yet mostly unknown, studies documenting the harm caused by training youngsters to feel they must earn our favor. That's exactly the message children take from standard punishment approaches, even if it's not the one most parents aim to communicate.
