Earlier this year I purchased 5 books, one of them was “The Gentle Discipline Book.”
The Gentle Discipline Book: How to raise co-operative, polite and helpful children
Book by Sarah Ockwell-Smith.
I like the fact that almost anything imaginable has been written.
In the course of trying to know how to communicate and raise kids better, I resolved to getting a copy of this book.
This book has made me aware of certain things I did not know when it has to do with dealing with kids.
For instance, it explored their psychology, their behaviours, their hierarchy of needs, what parent expect from kids that are not realistic and many other aspects.
You will be surprised to know that most things that worries you about your kids are quite common with kids generally.
Raising kids can be challenging but it good to know that we are alone.
I like to read or research stuffs, so I knew there is no way I will not read from experts regarding raising better kids and all that it entails.
Before I went for this book one of my major concern was communication with kids.
If there is a way of doing it by mere talking and both parties happy and satisfied at the end why not?
Why spank and stress if there are better options?
I am the type that can be strict sometimes but I want to get it right with kids.
I want to strick a balance and raise a reasonable, well behaved and not spoilt child.
Can I achieve it without engaging in a physical combat with a child?
This book has helped me a lot.
It is just one of those books you read and go back to for references.
Oh! I forgot to add I’m aware of “do not spare the rod and spoil the child.”
To be honest, most people use those lines to suit them.
So over to you now.
What book have you read lately?
Endeavour to read good books, not just gossips blogs or tweets. I mean try reading something long and engaging.
Reading is good for your brain and personal development ☺️
