Synopsis
"The voices here confirm what I've always suspected: everyone is part of one large continuum, and the approaches and insights recounted here can help any parent, any educator, any person deal with any childa€”or, for that matter, any other persona€”more effectively and with more compassion. I only wish I'd encountered earlier this cadre of experienced and caring individuals whose humor and resourcefulness represent clearly how best to love and nurture a Child"
--Cynthia Nitz Ris, J.D., Ph.D., University of Cincinnati
