Beyond Good Parenting is a warm and delightful eye-opener of a book! Marty Dutcher writes from his own experience in parenting as well as a lifetime career of working with children and parents – even grandparents. His carefully constructed concepts and techniques can help create a new respect and understanding for how children learn, how they discover their own interests and what helps them absorb new information about their world. Dutcher’s approach is to join up with kids with an attitude of “Let’s discover together what works – and what doesn’t work, in how we live in this world.” Beyond the right and wrong, beyond the good and bad, this underlying attitude, passed on to kids by parents, teachers, and others, can help them form their own views as they learn in collaboration with peers and adults. Dutcher lays a solid groundwork of the science behind the development of behavior and learning – and his love and respect for kids shines through it all. --- A book worth reading!
