For thousands of years, we have considered this the natural order of things, unwilling or unable to question its validity, but the author of this book reminds the authorities as judges that they are fundamentally wrong. Marvin Marshall, an author with 24 years of experience in educational research, clearly points out in this book: Don’t emphasize obedience, as it only leads to rebellion; don’t try to be a police officer but a coach; you can only change yourself, and forcing is an ineffective way to influence others. The only wise choice for parents and teachers is to look at their children with unwavering trust and sincerity and say, “Dear, you are good, and I believe in you.” For teachers, parents, educators, or anyone interested in fostering responsibility and growth in adolescents, this groundbreaking book is a must-read.
