Based on the belief that only when a child is convinced that its parents are on its side can it develop true self-esteem and develop into a self-confident, self-reliant and happy person, this book offers parents straightforward advice. It does not explain how or when to potty-train or move a child from a cot to a bed, but uses words such as praise, play, time, touch and talk, to advise both new and experienced parents about what helps children to develop and what blocks progress. The book's two core messages are: believe in yourself; and what you do is less important than how you do it.
