Smart Love: A Compassionate Alternative to Discipline That Will Make You a Better Parent and Your Child a Better Person by Martha Heineman Pieper
No parent wants to be a disciplinarian, but most fear that the only alternative is permissiveness. Not so, say Drs. Martha and William Pieper, the husband-wife team, parents of five themselves, who have written this revolutionary new volume based on years of ground-breaking research. The book shows that putting children's inner happiness, not their outward behaviour, first actually will make them better behaved and, in the long run, more confident and responsible.
