We've tried everything!

"We've tried everything, nothing works on him! " You are facing the whims of your children, you are exhausted and helpless. How to avoid struggles when dressing or cleaning up and quarrels when going to school or bed? Do you see in it insolence, disobedience, insolence and resistance? Are you looking to blame yourself, trying to figure out the mistakes you made in your upbringing? But what if these are completely different causes?

The author introduces you to the thought processes and reactions of the child's brain through concrete situations. Her findings are based on recent discoveries in neurophysiology and experimental psychology, and her advice provides a better understanding of child responses at different ages. Thanks to the author, you will discover that up to a certain age a child is not able to act strategically or to make foolish and calculated moves, and his reactions are only a natural defense or a necessity to express his needs.

In the book you will find drawings that, with their simplicity and clarity, show model educational situations and scientific explanations of children's behaviour.
