Strong arguments and tools to do things differently

Told in an engaging and energetic way, this book opens your eyes to the impact of our everyday actions on kids. If, like me, you feel there must be a more connected way to raising little ones than what you might have experienced during your own childhood, this book provides strong arguments and tools to help you do just that.

Powerful message

Powerful message, well delivered. It’s making me think about how I’ve parented and I will make changes.

Absolutely Brilliant, very informative .

Alfie Kohn is very inspiring, I have not only purchase the audible, I have purchased a few of his books. I wish others in power would share these values, children's lives would be so much better.

Put into words a lot of thoughts

I really enjoyed this book and it put into coherent words a lot of thoughts and ideas our family has had regarding parenting approaches.
A good listen for any parent.
Techinically audio and reader voice were also easy to listen to.

Bring an end to the power struggle with kids

I enjoyed this book because it
> coherently articulates what's dangerous about how we mindlessly control our kid's
> Identifies parental fears
>Gives reasons as to why most parents fall into the usual traps
>Gives very practical strategies of how we can build more harmonious and happier relationships
> speaks to reason
> I didn't feel the need to make notes as it just brings to light principles we hold in our heart but have been made to ignore by the way we were raised and how society is shaped today.

What I didn't enjoy so much :)
>some points were overly laboured
>Authors tone of voice was at times patronising but also very passionate so overall it didn't matter.

This is my favourite book on parenting so far. I've previously read
> The brain child
> Raising our children raising ourselves
> The book you wish your parents had read

Refreshing and thought provoking parenting book

I’m sure the world would be a better place if every parent read this book! I found it challenging, refreshing, thought provoking and helpful. I feel that I am able to parent better now than before reading it. I found Alfie Kohns narration style takes a bit of getting used to but it is well worth it! Give it a go- your children will thank you!

Thought provoking and uplifting

If you open your mind to the worldview of Alfie Kohn presented in this book then it will change your life! Or it has for me. Rather than suggesting a parenting methodology, this book presents a parenting philosophy. It will certainly be difficult to change my actions in accordance with my new beliefs about human cognition and behaviour, but I'm excited to try!
