Has anyone else read this? I have not finished it yet. I am impressed by the concept, but I am not sure how I feel about the idea that a kid will do things out of his heart, and I should be willing to take no for an answer.

Like I said, I haven't read the entire book, but I allow my child to say no to cleaning up after him/herself, etc., and either take care of everyday chores myself until they are willing to do them out of compassion?

Does that work?

I'm not sure if anything always "works". I don't think the idea of the book is to find something that always works or will fix all the problems (or percieved problems) we have with our kids. It's more a way to help you have a more connected and authentic relationship with them. I loved the book...and I just love Naomi.

I saw an ad for this book in Life Learning Magazine, so I ordered it from Amazon, it should be here in a few days. It sounds really good. I am always looking for gentle options where discipline is concerned.
