Kim John Payne plantea una máxima radicalmente poderosa: los niños no son desobedientes, más bien están desorientados. El resultado de este cambio de perspectiva es que la disciplina no es para controlar o castigar, sino para guiar. El autor brinda un marco sencillo para la toma de decisiones sobre por qué, cuándo y cómo mantener las riendas de la crianza más firmes—mientras los hijos desarrollan habilidades—o darles a esas riendas más juego—cuando los chicos van aprendiendo a caminar libremente.
