This inspirational parenting guide offers proactive and positive steps to raising respectful, engaged, and grateful children. In an effort to raise children with a healthy view of themselves, parents often focus on self-esteem rather than self-respect. And author Jill Rigby says theres a big difference. Its the difference between self-centered and others-centered children, the difference between performance-driven and purpose-focused teenagers. Raising Respectful Children in a Disrespectful World examines three different styles of parentingparent-centered, child-centered, and character-centered. Parent-centered parents are more concerned with their own agenda than their childs best interest. Child-centered parents are more concerned with their childs approval than their childs well-being. Character-centered parents are more concerned with their childs character than their childs comfort. Drawing a distinction between performance and purpose, this book maintains that rather than focusing on what you want your child to do, you ask what you want your child to become. Finally, Rigby calls for parents to discipline (teach) their children rather than punish them. With wisdom and insight, Jill Rigby shares age-appropriate ways to set boundaries with children without building walls of separation. Whether youre parenting tots or teens, Raising Respectful Children in a Disrespectful World offers valuable advice for cultivating a house of respect.
