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.
Alfie Kohn, the leader of The Progressive Educational Movement in America, who has published several books in addition to this one, including Punished by Reward: The Trouble with Gold Stars, Incentive Plans, A's, Praise and Other Bribes and The Schools Our Children Deserve: Moving Beyond Traditional Classrooms and “Tougher Standards”. His critiques are mostly about the fields of education, parenting, and human behavior, and they have had profound impacts on early childhood education worldwide. He has won the National Council of Teachers of English George Orwell Award for Distinguished Contribution in 2000, the National-Louis University Ferguson Award for Distinguished Contribution to Early Childhood Education in 2002, and the Public Education Advocacy Award from the Canadian Teacher's Federation in 2007.
