To Guide, Not to Censor. How to Communicate with a Child so They Grow Up Independent and Confident

Raising with Heart in Practice. While Alfie Kohn discusses what unconditional parenting is, its principles, and why it is important, Hanako Shimamura describes how to apply these principles in life.
How to praise a child so as not to demotivate or... offend them? How to scold correctly? Why is punishment unnecessary? How should adults listen to establish and maintain a connection with the child?
The book is filled with numerous examples and case studies from real life. For Russian readers, the publication is particularly relevant: the mentality of Japanese mothers is similar to ours — they are also prone to perfectionism and sensitive to societal pressure that demands being perfect and not making mistakes.
