Parents often have a tendency to blame children for their failings — little realising that their own role in their personality development is of much greater significance than their offsprings'. Parents need to look within to see how they can be model parents and provide a healthy environment for proper mental, emotional and physical growth of their children. Focussing on this basic issue, this book holds a mirror to parents, and shows how they can excel in the art of parenting. However over protection or restrictiveness can spoil a child; permissiveness or indulgence can make him anti-social, and any rejection can work on his personality, as to why he takes to lying, stealing or mud-eating.
