This book is based on the concept that autonomy = happiness (an oversimplification, but something you can read about in depth in other books). They advocate putting decision-making in the hands of the child. I already agree with this, but the quality of writing and questions at the end of each chapter help refine how to actually live this, practically. More relevant for parents of kids in school, vs toddlers, but still worth reading. This is one I would absolutely purchase for myself or other parents.
