Never punish in anger: rule one of Felix Adler's brief, humane essay on the punishment of children. The founder of the Ethical Culture movement distinguishes the child from the fault, warns against lecturing, and demands undeviating consistency. A few thousand words that outweigh whole shelves of sterner advice. Discipline with its temper kept.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
