In nine sections on family, behavior, character, emotions, social scene, school, special needs, day-to-day and electronics, the author urges readers to roll up their sleeves and get back to basic, instinctual parenting. Borba helps readers identify the reason underlying the behavior or problem, and work with 10 essential principles of change.
