This is new from the pioneers of the resilience movement, how to raise stronger, more self-sufficient children. Why are some kids out of control while others are able to keep it together? Who better to address the subject of self-discipline than two of the most respected, quoted and bestselling authorities on raising children? In doing their groundbreaking work on resilience in children, Dr. Brooks and Dr. Goldstein found that a lack of self-discipline is the root of many behavioural problems. Their engaging new book offers illuminating insights and point-by-point techniques to help parents interact with their children in a way that helps them control their impulses, complete tasks, interact with others and lead happier, more resilient and rewarding lives.
