"In this important international best-selling book, Jesper Juul argues that today's families are at an exciting crossroad. The authoritarian parenting style based on obedience conformity, and physical and emotional violence that governed traditional hierarchical families is being transformed. Instead, we can embrace a new set of values, based on the assumption that families can be built on dignity and reciprocity between parent and child. Children are competent to express their feelings from birth, and they are eager to co-operate as well as assume responsibility for their personal and social behaviour. As parents we must work on listening and learning from our children" -- Back cover.
