Glenn, H. Stephen

A parenting guide that explains how to help children build character and be responsible, using inner-directed motivators rather than external ones such as intimidation and fear. Covers such factors as perceptions of personal capabilities and personal significance, and intrapersonal, interpersonal, systemic, and judgmental skills.

Describes principles for creating and maintaining a healthy environment of support and challenge for children at home, which in turn equips them to effectively handle the pressures of school, and prepares them to learn.
