»Those who bring up their children with respect will have children who treat their parents and teachers with respect.« Jesper Juul
This is the theme which runs through Jesper Juul's life: education is a matter of respect.
This book is the renowned family therapist’s legacy concerning what really matters in education. He illustrates it with many examples: the age of tantrums, school stress and puberty: All the perils involved in living with children can be overcome more easily if respect, trust and love are central points.
Jesper Juul changes our perspective and shows that it is not that our children lack respect, but that we adults lack respect, mostly unconsciously and unintentionally, for our children. The book tells us how we can change that.
