From the Back Cover
In Helping Kids Help Themselves, E. Perry Good explains how many of the behaviors adults use to "help" kids are at best ineffective and at worst destructive to the adults relationships with kids. This kind of help is based on the belief that something or someone outside of ourselves causes us to behave...Real help is based on the idea that we are internally motivated and our behavior is purposeful. E. Perry Good explains that although we cannot force kids to be responsible and independent, we can help them move in this direction. We can teach them to self-evaluate what they are doing and the overall direction their lives are taking. As parents, teachers, counselors, we must learn how to use the techniques of informing, encouraging, and recognizing to help put the "self' back in self-esteem and encourage responsibility.
