The parenting classic, now revised with new chapters, checklists, and
information about today's most pressing issues regarding our children
This bestselling guide rejects "quick-fix" solutions and focuses on
helping kids develop their own self-discipline by owning up to their
mistakes, thinking through solutions, and correcting their misdeeds
while leaving their dignity intact. Barbara Coloroso shows these
principles in action through dozens of examples -- from sibling rivalry
to teenage rebellion; from common misbehaviors to substance abuse and
antisocial behavior. She also explains how to parent strong-willed
children, effective alternatives to time-outs, bribes, and threats, and
how to help kids resolve disputes and serious injustices such as
bullying.
Filled with practical suggestions for handling the ordinary and
extraordinary tribulations of growing up, kids are worth it! helps you
help your children grow into responsible, resilient, resourceful adults
-- not because you tell them to, but because they want to.
