Parenting is an ‘ART’. We learn it from our parents and our children in turn learn from us. It is an unavoidable circle. But what matters is how to be a GOOD parent. ? You get the answer from this book. All the 69 chapters are neatly knit with care and experience. The author has used a very simple language and given so many illustrations like, when he explains the problems with punishment, he says punishments are based on fear. “You won’t be able to go out and play tomorrow if you don’t come home on time”. Most of us as parents use this kind of punishment which leads to anger, aggression and rebellion. Reading the book was like going through verbatim of many parents. Each and every behavior of the child and the parents responses are explained in this book vividly. This book would certainly help parents of adolescents understand their problems and the way to tackle those efficiently. In a way, this splendid book would reduce your tension and prevent us from getting hypertension! This is a guide and a treasure to be preserved.

A MUST READ book for all parents and parents to be!
