The text of this book can be summarized as "try to understand your child, accept and love him, acknowledge your part in the problem and everything will turn out alright." While there is a lot of truth in this, the book offers very little practical advice as to how to go about changing things. The STEP books by Dinkmeyer give the same advice but then go a step further and tell you how to do it
