THE COMPANION TEXT TO THE HIGHER LEVEL PARENTING WEB SITEThis book aims to provide parents (as well as prospective parents and health-care professionals whose work takes them into contact with children) with a substantial repertoire of constructive, non-coercive interactions with infants and children, sufficient to meet the common everyday challenges of raising a child. If enough parents learn the better ways of interacting with their children (and with everybody else) perhaps we may someday see a generation of children who are not only free1 from the horrible long-term effects of coercive parenting, but who as adults can also enjoy the deep satisfaction of dancing the dance of human communication for its own sake, without the need for the illusory and ultimately unsatisfying gratification of trying to control others.
