They way parents call out to their children plays a major role in shaping their behaviour. Here is an evidence-based, state-of-the-art educational method to raise independent children.

Children’s behaviour can change dramatically depending on how they are approached at home. In an era where it is difficult to foresee the future, more than ever we need to raise children who can think and move by themselves, and ensure open possibilities.
How can parents raise children who do not depend on their guidance?
This book illustrates a state-of-the-art education method by child development Doctor Shimamura, based on two distinguished approaches: Montessori, which is a representative of progressive education, and Reggio Emilia, which has attracted attention in recent years. A bible for parenthood based on approaching children through praising and scolding.
