Review: Awesome concept, that: r-e-s-p-e-c-t! - Who would ever have thought that the same generation that produced super-authoritarian parents would also produce some of the most compassionate advocates of children! Having been raised in a home that had measures of super-strictness tempered with some respect, I can say that Magda addresses all the things I wished for as a child: someone to let me know I was worth paying attention to, a lot of "permission" to do things for myself when *I* felt ready, and lots of compassion. Ms. Gerber most definitely asks the reader to consider treating those newest among us with the same care and dignity that we treat our friends--BUT she does NOT advocate letting the little ones run roughshod over us. Instead, she reminds the adults to *be* the adult and care for their own needs as well as those of the children...and wonder of wonders she advocates a way that LOWERS the stress of all involved! Cheer, cheer! This is a wonderful book to have in your "toolkit" of child-caring techniques, and I find that the chapters are short and easy to refresh me in my goals during a few minutes read. I would recommend it for almost everyone...but not for those who believe children are at heart evil little wretches filled with "original sin" that we must beat out of them. This book won't fit that philosophy. Review: Great book - After reading this book when my son was a newborn, I was overwhelmed with the simplicity of it suggestions - basically treat your kid like a human being, not like a baby/thing. That has made all the difference in the world for my 12 month old (1 year) son! Of course every mom is proud, but he's walking around like a champ, takes multi-step instructions/directions (such as giving the dogs a treat, putting away the treat bag, and closes the door), and climbs up the stairs and slides down the slide by himself - all without ever pushing him to do anything. This book has helped me relax and treat him like I would want to be treated or how another human being would want to be treated, which is easier to do than to learn a new method that he'll quickly grow out of anyway. Thanks! ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #475,988 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3,248 in Education Theory (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 134 Reviews | ## Images ![Dear Parent: Caring for Infants With Respect (2nd Edition) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Tx+OYolwL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome concept, that: r-e-s-p-e-c-t! *by L***R on June 15, 2010* Who would ever have thought that the same generation that produced super-authoritarian parents would also produce some of the most compassionate advocates of children!
