About the book

Alfie Kohn, author of Punished by Rewards, argues that children need to be loved unconditionally, and that conventional parenting tools such as punishments and rewards teach them that their parents' love depends on pleasing and impressing. He cites research on the harm this can cause and offers practical alternatives grounded in love and reason.
