How do you raise a personality? Do parents need robot-like children? Should Santa Claus be banned? Is it possible to live for someone else? And what to do with a teenager if educational methods have run out and the situation has reached a dead end? These and other, even more incredible questions are asked of Ekaterina Murashova, the well-known Saint Petersburg psychologist, every day — by grandmothers, grandfathers, mothers, fathers, and children themselves. In the polyclinic reception, in the blog on the Snob portal, at public lectures, by mail. Together with children, adults, and her readers, Ekaterina Murashova seeks solutions in the most seemingly common — and most unusual — life situations. Ekaterina Murashova's books have been published by the Samokat publishing house for many years; all of them are in demand by readers and are bestsellers of the “Samokat for Parents” series.
