In an age full of challenges, the difficulties that parents face are now countless.
Conflicts regarding studying and school performance, the use of the internet and electronic devices, material goods, the influence of peers and multiple role models, appearance, and generally health and safety issues have made the role of the parent more demanding than ever.
In the face of these challenges, children need to feel that their parents are allies, so that they can turn to them in difficult times and so that parents can effectively influence them.
Imposing authority and punishment have proven to be ineffective tools for upbringing. A warm and harmonious relationship between parent and child, built on mutual respect and understanding, rather than fear, shouting, and punishment, has become a one-way street.
The philosophy and method proposed by Thomas Gordon promote honest communication and effective problem-solving. With this book, you will learn step by step skills to:

A holistic approach to communication based on empathy, clarity, and cooperation. It will help you understand the needs behind your child's behavior, avoid conflicts, and create a relationship of respect and mutual acceptance.
