Synopsis
Dr. Jane Nelson theorizes that children misbehave when they feel thwarted in their need to belong and in their need for love and attention. An authoritarian approach, she posits, will lead only to rebellious behavior. Instead, parents need some guidelines for showing compassion and understanding even in difficult situations.
