Features: Recommended by the renowned American talk show host Oprah Winfrey! A child's healthy growth not only needs physical photos but also requires the nurturing of their soul. We all hope our children can feel trusted, safe, and confident, which directly depends on parents being honest and openly loyal to them. Once children deeply feel this, they will forgive our mistakes, our tempers, our contradictions, and all our shortcomings as parents. No matter how cold and chaotic the world outside the family is, there are always certain fundamental, unchanging things in the family for children to rely on—such as a sense of being cared for, fixed family routines, recurring family orders and patterns, and an inexhaustible unconditional love. Many parents feel a lack of warm communication with their children. Some say, "We never communicate. He just doesn't listen to me." Others complain, "I never see my child; he can go anywhere but never wants to be at home." In fact, the lack of scientific communication between parents and children has become an increasingly common issue, eroding the happiness and joy of families. This book, in the form of animal fables, tells parents nine basic rules for communicating with children: loyalty, praise, communication, consistency, discipline, belonging, responsibility, alertness, and freedom. The author teaches parents how to create a safe, tolerant, and loving family environment by practicing these principles, and how to help children build a healthy personality in such an environment.
