Socratic Parenting: KNOW YOURSELF. KNOW YOUR CHILD.
Imagine a parenting book that doesn't tell parents what to do, but teaches the art of self-discovery using the same methods parents can use to encourage their children's growth and learning.
Socratic Parenting: Know Yourself. Know Your Child focuses parents on the need to examine their own values and goals in order to select wisely from the overwhelming assortment of parenting tools available in this information age.
