About this Book:
|
|
The goal of every parent is for their children to grow up, leave home and live independently. Along the way, parents want to enjoy having a family. This book gives parents a structure to have a peaceful democratic home where everyone has rights, and everyone pitches in on the family team. The benefits are many. Setting up a chore system allows the adults to retire from being the house servant while empowering your children. Young people learn self-discipline, responsibility and teamwork when parents implement the strategies in Raising Able. Watch in amazement when children take the lead in family meetings and volunteer for jobs at home. Parents, educators and day care providers will learn new strategies to old challenges that nurture the child’s spirit, not stifle it, while learning responsibility. The guide is written by the mother of 4 whose goal was to teach children to make good decisions when they were young so when they became teens and were 60 miles away going 60 miles an hour.
