I Love and Understand

Psychologist Mikhail Labkovsky is absolutely certain: THE MAIN TASK OF EVERY PARENT is to raise a child not into a “convenient” adult, but into a psychologically healthy person—independent and happy. Raising children to be happy is impossible if you haven’t learned to enjoy life yourself. That’s why this book first helps you “put on an oxygen mask” for parents:
• LEARN TO LOVE YOURSELF, rest, and seek help;
• STOP WORRYING about everything in the world, running faster than everyone, sacrificing yourself;
• FIGURE OUT what “crutches” you’re dragging from your own childhood.
And of course, it discusses specific questions about raising children:
— The first year of a child’s life: why so many couples break up at this moment and how to avoid it;
— After three, it’s already too late. And before three—there’s really no need at all! The truth about early development;
— How to help a little one learn to love kindergarten;
— Lessons, a school bag, a morning alarm clock—these are the schoolchild’s responsibility!
— Why “all A’s” in the grade book is a problem.
And much, much more.
