As with all books of this nature, it is more helpful in retrospect, rarely are such useful insights read during the "parenting" years. My wife and I were attracted to its content because we have two grand-daughters, the youngest one is as bright as a button and brings us great joy, the eldest is having an awkward adolescence which makes us anxious because we don't understand how to best respond to her behaviour. This book was helpful in giving us a better perspective. It was also useful in assessing our own performance as parents.
