Raising self-reliant children in a self-indulgent world - H. Stephen Glenn

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
