I just started reading this book & it 's changing my life already. it explains how a child 0-7 years learn thru their body, learn by doing & imitating.
I used to have to struggle with my 2.5 yo about everything, dressing, changing nappies, sitting on the potty, washing hands, u-name-it. i was using the wrong way, i would ask her to do sth & explain to her why she has to do it. then she would say "no" or ignore me, and i would start getting frustrated & start raising my voice, eventually breaking down crying myself, or threatening her that I have to spank her. since i was reading this book, instead of explaining why she has to do sth, i say, "let's go wash our hands" or "mommy's going to change my clothes" or "bunny's going to use the potty", she would definitely follow suit right away & do what i wanted her to do.
my daughter and I have since become more calm, we enjoy each other company so much more, and she is so much more well-behaved. my husband is also amazed at the transformation.:yeah2
i highly recommend this book to parents, and especially those of you who are like me - first time parent who are clueless & so frustrated so frequently.
p.s. but the book talks much about spirituality. for those of you who don't believe in spirit, body & emotion as the influence of a person, you do have to ignore a lot of the part of the book.
