This book is based on the Carl rogers style which is very accepted and useful. Still I am rating it as a 4 star because of its very short parenting tips. Many things are written without much of analysis and basic understanding to explain why it is the way it is.
Overall, the reading is quite interesting and I suggest it to people who want to deal with a variety of parents.
