A baby who receives adequate nutrition and good medical care, but is deprived of full communication with an adult, develops poorly not only mentally, but also physically: he does not grow, loses weight, and loses interest in life. “Problem”, “difficult”, “disobedient” and “impossible” children, as well as children “with complexes”, “downtrodden” or “unhappy” are always the result of incorrect relationships in the family. The book by Yulia Borisovna Gippenreiter is aimed at harmonizing relationships in the family, because the communication style of parents affects the future of their child! (From the preface to the first and second editions)
