Whether parents or teachers, we have always had only two tricks up our sleeves: rewards or punishments. For thousands of years, we have regarded this as the norm, 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:
Do not emphasize obedience, as it will only lead to rebellion;
Do not try to be a police officer, but be a coach;
You can only change yourself, coercion 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 sincerely 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.
