The book presents high values that every parent should have. The given information is outstanding and the ideas are so deep. The book is written in an egaging style so it doesn’t get boring and it structured very well and easy to understand. Raising a child is the most responsible job we can get in our life and it’s better be done damn good. I wish that every future parent would take a few years of reading literature regarding parenthood and this should be the book on the top of your list.Amazon 5 star review wrote wrote:John Gottman produces the most insightful and inspiring books I have ever read. All his work is well worth the investment. Every parent should own a copy of this book and refer to it on a regular basis. There would be less violence, suicide, depression and school drop out if children where raised by parents who had more empathy and understanding of the important role that emotions play in early childhood. Buy this book and hold it close, it may change your life.Amazon 5 star review wrote:I wish all parents would be handed this book by their pediatrician! This book makes you think twice about yourself and how you interact and raise your children to be capable and emotionally intelligent human beings. I cannot say enough about this book. In today’s world so many parents are hooked on making your child obey and be this little person that’s perfect in so many ways that we lose sight of what we really should be doing with our children.May you find peace, TRUE LOVE and prosperity,Aeon
