Parents should look for the reason for all the shortcomings and vices of their children in themselves. This is the creed, the foundation on which Salzmann built his pedagogy as a result of many years of observation of his own children and pupils. The clear examples of “unreasonable parenting” given here in the “Book for Cancers” help us understand our own behavior in relationships with other people and significantly advance us, and therefore our children, along the path to perfection. After all, children judge us not so much by our words, but by our deeds and actions. Therefore, if we want to see our children healthy, cheerful, attentive and good-natured, then we must first take care to become a living example of these qualities ourselves - otherwise all your words and admonitions will be in vain.
