Excellent book, though maybe a bit simple....

Firstly: bias declaration. I'm a Libertarian. I found this book to totally echo my sentiments on parenting. The idea that children are human too and that as such deserve the same rights, responsibilities and considerations we give older humans seems simple but it's really radical in the universe of parenting books out there. I also highly recommend a much more researched author: "Alfie Kohn", while his approach to the subject is a bit more from an educator's perspective (and a very well informed one at that), his conclusions are very similar. About my only complaint on the book is that I would like to know a bit more about the author's results, how has her philosophy worked with *her* children or children of those influenced by her. I've been unsuccessful in contacting the author to ask her. P.S. I take issue with the very uninformed and unthought-out position of the other poster, who thinks that this philosophy would create monsters. Please read the book critically and judge for yourself.
