This book contains some out of date parenting practices , ie- allowing your child/children the freedom to talk to strangers (or that's how I interpreted it), to gain "Trust" in their own intuition/guidance, world, etc. This is definitely not recommended these days, as it puts children into a situation where they could be preyed upon by pedophiles. Some parts however are good, such as allowing them to solve their own issues, owning their own feelings, etc.
