is another interesting look at how Barbara Coloroso wraps parenting and ethical common sense into a neat little bestselling package, I did find this book useful, in that it allowed me to reflect on my own ethical practices, I have always believed that it is very important to be a role model for younger children, and in reading Coloroso's similar view I found myself reflecting on what I could do to demonstrate this empathy and sympathy to other children.
I once again disagree with her idea that rewards and recognition are absolutely useless in achieving this goal, as extrinsic motivation can evolve to intrinsic motivation, Overall, this was a good book for both reflection and in exercising my critical thinking skills about the theories presented, In her nowclassic kids are worth it! , Barbara Coloroso offered solid advice and practical parenting techniques that above all preserved the dignity of both parent and child.
Coloroso's underlying parenting vision ascribes to parents the responsibility to teach the next generation how to think, not just what to think, so that they may grow into the best people they can be.

There can be no more necessary book for our times,

Excellent excellent parenting resource, Went to hear a talk by Barbara and really liked her practical ideas for parenting teens, I wish I could give this a higher score, but it had too many examples of the negative, and not enough examples of the positive, nor did it provide many specifics of helping kids be ethical.
