Parent's guide book in bringing up children

One of my favourite authors is John Gray. He's a relationship coach who wrote 'Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus'. I read this book of his and found the weird in-born characteristics that men have, which is their tendency to hide in the caves whenever they feel disturbed/there's something in their minds. It made me understand men more.
In this book, it teaches us parents to let our children make whatever mistakes, as long as they admit it, and at the end of the day let the children know that parents are still the bosses. I highly recommend this book to all parents....though you would find that the points presented were quite repetitive.....but I found it useful until now coz, whenever I flip it open at whichever chapter, it helps to remind me about the emotional intelligence that we should be having in dealing with children who are sometimes difficult.
Here's a sneak peek into the book:
'It's okay to be different.
It's okay to make mistakes.
It's okay to express negative emotions.
It's okay to want more.
It's okay to say no, but remember Mom and Dad are the bosses.'
