2. Everything you read should be considered, first of all, as information for thought. No living soul in the whole world can love your child and understand your child as you do. It is quite another thing that understands, loves, and even at the same time thinks, reflects, and considers, and under all these conditions it is not always possible to achieve success.

3. Success, in relation to the process of care and upbringing, is a relative concept – depending on which bell tower you look at. From the teacher's point of view, a polite winner of the city Physics and Mathematics Olympiad who does not get out of hospitals is an undoubted success. An absolutely healthy juvenile bandit (if he is washed and forbidden to talk) will delight the pediatrician with the excellent work of internal organs and excellent tests.

4. The golden mean is a simultaneous and abundant balm for the soul of relatives, doctors and teachers - this is a smart, well-mannered and healthy child. This phenomenon is extremely rare, but when implementing a certain program of care and upbringing, we should at least know what to strive for.

5. The real level of health or ill-health of a particular child depends on four factors:

– Heredity, i.e. what was inherited from mom and dad;

– Environment (ecology + living conditions);

– Health systems;

– The process of care and upbringing, i.e. the relationship between the child and his relatives.

6. The above-mentioned care and upbringing are some very specific actions, a certain set of measures. But, the main paradox is as follows: 100% of the adult population knows how to make children, but 99.9% do not know what to do with children later.

7. The main task of this book is to eliminate the paradox of the situation, to provide the reader with the opportunity to determine for himself what should be done with the child and what should never be done in an accessible form.
