Synopsis

Featuring a new Introduction by bestselling author Barbara Coloroso, this parenting classic is set to teach a new generation of parents the importance of treating kids with dignity and respect. Rejecting the “quick fix” solutions of punishment and reward, Barbara uses everyday family situations—from sibling rivalry to teenage rebellion—to demonstrate sound strategies for giving children the inner discipline and self-confidence that will help them become responsible, resourceful, resilient, and compassionate adults.

From AudioFile:

Barbara Coloroso's philosophy of parenting supports the idea that using a combination of compassion and respect when disciplining a child will teach limits without damaging the child's or the parent's self-esteem. Throughout the six tapes, Coloroso tackles some of the most difficult topics, from how to teach a toddler the meaning of "no," to handling a troublesome teen. Coloroso's voice and presentation are comforting and easy to listen to. She manages to deliver eight hours of advice without "preaching" her philosophy, making her message palatable and successful.
