Effective parenting requires only this--that moms and dads recognize and answer their children's heart cries for three essential needs: acceptance, affection, and affirmation. As they do, they will raise kids who feel loved and who can then love others and contribute meaningfully to the world. 3 Things Kids Need the Most blends warm, real-life stories with compelling advice to help parents meet children's core needs and propel them toward maturity. Each chapter includes a vignette by one of Hartley's adult children, providing inspiration and examples of how these principles work. Moms and dads, single parents, foster parents, and grandparents can successfully raise children of any age. This simple, straightforward approach shows them how.
