This book is a compilation of several reports, conversations, and consultations with parents, serving as a guide for family education. The author is both a League member and someone who understands the struggles of young moms. As someone who has "been there," she reveals the "secrets" of child development to them. One notable feature of the book is its deep understanding and respect for children. Children are human beings, independent individuals who must grow on their own and can only grow on their own, eventually contributing to society by creating their own careers. Adults should love, encourage, support, protect, and guide them, but never replace them—because they simply cannot. Children’s psychological states and ways of thinking are different from those of adults. Forcing their thoughts to align with adults’ or making decisions for them, pressuring them to follow adults’ will, inevitably leads to conflict.
Another feature of the book is its numerous vivid and touching examples. Reading these stories will move and inspire you.
