Features: A parenting classic that has sold over 5 million copies in the United States, translated into 31 languages worldwide, and has completely transformed the way parents communicate with their children. Parents can help their children become people of high moral character—compassionate, responsible, courageous, energetic, and upright. Love alone is not enough, and insight alone is not sufficient. Good parents need skills, and learning how to acquire and use these skills is the main focus of this book. For years, we have worked with parents and children—sometimes individually, sometimes in therapy groups, and sometimes in parenting workshops. This book is a distillation of those experiences. It is a practical guide that offers specific advice and actionable solutions for all parents facing daily challenges and spiritual dilemmas. It also provides concrete suggestions derived from fundamental communication principles, guiding parents to treat their children with mutual respect.
