*No parent or educator can afford to ignore this groundbreaking
work!
Bestselling authors H. Stephen Glenn and Jane Nelsen have helped
hundreds of thousands of parents raise capable, independent children
with Raising Self-Reliant Children in a Self-Indulgent World***.*** On
its tenth anniversary, this parenting classic returns with fresh,
up-to-date information to offer you inspiring and workable ideas for
developing a trusting relationship with children, as well as the skills
to implement the necessary discipline to help your child become a
responsible adult.
Those who think in terms of leniency versus strictness will be
surprised. This book goes beyond these issues to teach children to be
responsible and self-reliant--not through outer-directed concerns, such
as fear and intimidation, but through inner-directed behavior, such as
feeling accountable for one's commitments. Inside, you'll discover how
to instill character-building values and traits in your child that last
a lifetime.
"During these turbulent days when families are in disarray and children
are getting the short end of the stick, this book can be very helpful to
parents who are struggling to bring up self-reliant children. Even after
raising five of my own and becoming a grandfather for the seventh time,
I got some new ideas out of it!"--**Art Linkletter

"An inspiring, workable formula for developing closeness, trust,
dignity, and respect . . . a real gem."--Becky Ridgeway, School Social
Worker
