Description: Examines three different styles of parenting?parent-centered, child-centered, and character-centered. Parent-centered parents are more concerned with their own agenda than their child?s best interest. Child-centered parents are more concerned with their child?s approval than their child?s well-being. Character-centered parents are more concerned with their child?s character than their child?s 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.--Amazon.
