With a blend of practical advice, real-life anecdotes, and a deep understanding of child development, "Stubborn Child" serves as a roadmap for transforming defiance into cooperation and aggression into empathy.
At the heart of Mandakini’s approach is the recognition that every child is unique, with their own set of challenges and strengths.
