About the book
Educator and psychologist Alfie Kohn questions a widely held belief: that children today are excessively spoiled and that strict discipline is the solution. With academic rigor and practical examples, Kohn deconstructs myths about parenting and child education that persist in popular culture.
The book proposes an alternative view based on research, arguing that true parental authority emerges from building meaningful relationships and from an education centered on the child's emotional and moral development, not on punishment or coercion.
