Wisdom from a Master
The author, a physician, survived Nazi Germany and had love in his heart for all children. His wisdom and insights will make you glad to be a human being, and his humor and wry commentaries will delight you.

Big gifts in small packages! Extraordinary parental advice.
What children really think of us: Adults are not very clever. They don't even know how to take advantage of the freedom they have. They're so lucky, they can buy anything they like, they're allowed to do anything they want but despite all this they are always angry about something and any little thing is liable to make them shout. -From the book. This little book will teach you some things about children and how to be a parent! Great book for new parents, but also for parents at any stage. For example, there's a section on adolescence. Really good insight and used in a child's point of view. I picked this up and thumbed thru it and knew I had to get a closer look at this! Who was this man 'Janusz Korczak' and why had I never heard of him before? How did he know this stuff about kids and what they think and feel and want and need? The introduction tells you a little bit about Korczak, and in the very back of the book, there is a 'who was this man' section. Very interesting. Makes me want to find more of his writings. The book is full of words of wisdom about children, growing and learning, and what they see from us. Great little book for yourself or to give as a gift. I cannot think of anyone who would not benefit from reading this little treasure! You know someone who you admire as a parent? Great!-& give 'em this too!

Practical Parenting
Dr Korzcak writes from the perspective of the child. His writing is profound yet simple and easy to understand. His teaching reminds me of the innocence of children. As an adult I forget what it was like to be a child but Dr Korzcak reminds me of that fragile age. When I am reminded of that fragile age I empathize and become on the same level as the child, thus more patient, compassionate and understanding, and hopefully a kinder and wiser parent.

The best book on parenting. Period.
Without cant, without presumption, without institutional or ideological nonsense that prevents adults even from seeing children, this book is a treasure. Give it to every expectant parent, and you will give them an invaluable gift to the child they will raise.
