In my opinion having an entire chapter for jokes is bit too much.
This is an English book using words from other language without any explanation doesn't help a reader in any ways. For instance author uses the word 'mensch' in few places as it is a commonly used word. I understand it is a common practice for English writers to use french phrases to convey some meaning but these are not french words and it confuses the reader morn than it helps.
Open ended questioning, Feeling fingerprints, FIGTESPN, power of praise, praising specific behaviours, ignoring kid irritations, chill out, keep calm technique
are some of the key takeaways from this book.
As another reviewer mentioned restraining a per-schooler during time out seems extreme. I'm not sure if it doesn't affect the child in any negative way.
It's an OK book with some flows since it's the only book I read so far about parenting I cannot make fair comparison. ( )
