The book is widely praised for its insightful exploration of parenting, particularly the nuanced concept of setting boundaries. Reviewers commend the author, an esteemed child psychologist from the Tavistock Clinic, for her accessible and non-technical language, making complex psychological principles understandable for general readers. The structure, divided into chapters corresponding to different developmental stages from infancy to adolescence and even adult relationships, is found highly useful for reference. Many appreciate that the book redefines saying "no" not as a rejection, but as a crucial tool for fostering a child's independence, self-awareness, and personal growth by establishing necessary limits. The inclusion of practical examples and case studies helps illustrate these concepts, providing reassurance and a deeper understanding of typical child behaviors and parental dynamics.
Despite its strengths, some readers noted that the book is not a prescriptive manual offering quick fixes or definitive answers for every parenting challenge. While it explains the why behind certain approaches, some wished for more concrete, actionable solutions or less extreme examples. A few reviewers found certain sections, particularly those on resolving issues, to be somewhat vague. Additionally, the coverage of older children and adolescents was occasionally perceived as less detailed than the earlier stages, with some suggesting that these complex periods might warrant a more extensive discussion. A small number of readers felt the book sometimes stated obvious truths without providing sufficiently novel or groundbreaking insights.
In conclusion, this book is generally regarded as a valuable and thought-provoking resource for understanding the intricate journey of parenting and child development. It encourages parents to reflect on their role and adapt its principles to their unique family situation, rather than seeking a rigid set of rules. The book is highly recommended for parents, expectant parents, educators, and anyone interested in child psychology, especially those who appreciate a deeper theoretical understanding of behavior and boundaries. It is best suited for readers prepared to engage critically with its insights and apply them flexibly, rather than those looking for a simple, step-by-step guide to every parenting dilemma.
