Unconditional Parenting - Moving from Rewards and Punishments to Love and Reason

National Parenting Publications Award: 2006 NAPPA Gold Award Winner

Most parenting guides begin with the question How can we get kids to do what they're told? and then proceed to offer various techniques for controlling them. In this truly groundbreaking book, nationally respected educator Alfie Kohn begins instead by asking, What do kids need -- and how can we meet those needs? What follows from that question are ideas for working with children rather than doing things to them.
