The Winning Family: Increasing Self-Esteem in Your Children and YourselfThe classic guide to becoming the parent you want to be.

It offers a new, hopeful model for families where everyone can win. This book was written by a mother who wanted to raise her children differently than she had been raised. In graduate school she noticed that a lack of self-esteem was at the root of every mental illness, and wrote one of the first books on how to build it in children from day one. But how can you teach something you don't know? Read this book if you want to raise your children's self-esteem... and your own. |
