Understanding our Children I found this book to be very valuable to any parent who had children. It is not enough for us to expect the teachers to treat and talk to our kids in a manner we expect, if we are not doing it ourselves. This book is a great reminder of what we should acknowledge and where to focus more. Loved it!
