Chances are that, as a parent, you and Barbara Coloroso already
have something in common: you both know that "kids are worth
it."
By looking at the difference between encouragement and rewards,
discipline and punishment, Coloroso helps parents learn how to
empower and influence their children instead of controlling them by
teaching them how to think, not what to think.
Revised and updated with new material throughout, including a
new chapter on bribes and threats, kids are worth it! is
an indispensable addition to any family's bookshelf.
Throughout the book, Coloroso examines three approaches to
parenting and, through meaningful examples and anecdotes, she
demonstrates which approaches work and which don't.
By applying her powerful methods to specific topics such as
toilet training, chores and sibling rivalry as well as buffering
children from sexual promiscuity, drug abuse and suicide, she feels
that teaching kids to take ownership of their feelings and problems
can lead to progress toward self-discipline.
