How to Become a Friend to Your Child While Remaining Their Parent

Let’s admit it, we all dream of raising an ideal daughter or an ideal son. But parenting is a very complex process, where on one hand, it’s important to give the child freedom, and on the other — to establish clear boundaries and provide guidance. Unfortunately, no one has taught us how to maintain the golden mean, or how to be friends with our children, and therefore we repeatedly make mistakes. Educationalist Marina Solotova shares insights on how to avoid these mistakes; her experience is compiled in this book in the form of wise reflections, real stories, and practical assignments after each chapter.

From this book, you will learn:
- How to be friends with your children.
- What equality means in relationships with a child.
- What reasonable dominance is and how to learn it.
- Why children should not be punished.
- Which parents raise happy children.
