About the book
What if the relationship with the child is at an impasse? Maybe he is lying, or disobeying, or being rude, or skipping school … This behavior is usually called bad, but psychologist Lyudmila Petranovskaya suggests calling it difficult — because it is, in fact, not connected with the concepts of “good” and “bad” «.
Difficult childish behavior must have a reason. It almost certainly hides the child’s need for attention, calmness, love, or other vital things. In his book “If it’s difficult with a child. What if you no longer have the strength to endure? » Lyudmila Petranovskaya talks about how to find and satisfy this need. If this succeeds, the problem usually disappears by itself.
Parents should definitely read Petranovskaya’s books — in order to remember how they themselves were children and how they felt when they were scolded, shamed, their own parents did not understand. This book is about how to stop betraying children and break the long chain of misunderstandings that are passed from parent to child from generation to generation.
