Child care & upbringing

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
