Quotes from the book:

«After the age of three, you can teach him to retaliate. But retaliation can only be in response to physical aggression, that is, if someone calls you a fool — don't hit them in the face. Strike back only in response to a blow!»

«Until 3-5 years old, almost all children develop physical aggression — hitting, biting, pinching. This is a sign of normal child development.».

«Let's clarify: it's okay to be angry. But you must never hurt anyone in a fit of anger.».

«For a child, parents' behavior is the only model for resolving conflicts. Teach by your example!»

«If there is no yelling, shouting, and fighting, let the children work it out themselves.».

«Not reacting to complaints, saying: "Tattling is bad!", "Sort it out yourselves!" — this condemns you to the fact that children will not come to you when something really serious happens.».

«The main reason for children's lying is the desire to avoid punishment. Children who live in constant fear of punishment for lying do not lie any less. They simply become skilled liars and are caught lying less often.».
