Kids Are Worth It!: Giving Your Child the Gift of Inner Discipline

Parenting expert Barbara Coloroso explains how parents can raise children who are responsible, resilient and able to think for themselves. She describes three kinds of families, the brick wall, the jellyfish and the backbone, and shows why the backbone approach, with clear structure and respect, works best. Coloroso offers practical advice on discipline, chores, sibling conflict and mistakes, aimed at helping children develop inner discipline rather than simply obey.
