Unconditional Parenting: Moving from Rewards and Punishments to Love and Reason, by Alfie Kohn (Parenting, education, unconditional love)

Parents usually apply rewards and punishments when raising and educating their children. However, Kohn believes that this is a kind of control in the name of love or, in other words, conditional parenting. He believes that parents' love is a gift that their children deserve to get without paying anything in return. A child can only be both physically and mentally healthy when raised with unconditional parenting. This author's opinion is challenging because it overturns a lot of parenting concepts that people have historically believed. In recognition of this book's profound impact, it won the gold prize of the National Parenting Product Award in 2006.
