Punishments Are Useless! How to Raise Children Without Falling Into the Emotional Trap

Punishments not only don’t work—they can also interfere with a child’s development. Child psychologists have been saying this for a long time, and more and more parents around the world are coming to the same conclusion. But what should you do when conversations don’t help, your patience is running out, and you feel like you’re about to snap—shout or slap?

In his book «Punishments Are Useless!», Danièle Novara, a professional psychologist, explains how to learn to manage your own emotions and do without punishments—even in situations where it seems like otherwise it’s impossible. He emphasizes that in parenting it’s important to take into account the child’s developmental stages by age and, above all, to remain calm and objective.

Novara has extensive practical experience working with children of different ages, so his advice will help you build relationships within the family based on love and understanding. The book is suitable for parents of children of any age.
