Unconditional Parenting: Moving from Rewards and Punishments to Love and Reason - Alfie Kohn While I like his main premise that cooperating with children as though they're human rather than ordering them about and making random rules because that's convenient for the grown-ups, I find much of his practical advice, well, impractical. I take to heart his idea, but I put it into practice differently and, I'm sure to him and his fans, impurely. I'm glad I read it, but I didn't let it make me feel bad that I still insist on teeth-brushing and regular bed-times.
