Bring Out the Best in Your Child

By Patrick J. Jeske

Learn to avoid confrontations with young
people and the rifts that often result from "laying down the law". In
Bring Out the Best in Your Child, Patrick J. Jeske shows parents
how to encouragage their children to actively obey the house rules instead of
rebelling against them. By making youths responsible for their choices and
permitting them to accept the consequences of bad decisions, parents will see
dramatic improvement in their children's behavior.
Bring Out the Best in Your Child focuses on several methods
for fostering children's innate drive to succeed. The author, a practicing
child psychologist, teaches parents how to recognize and fulfill their
offspring's basic needs for love, structure, and excitement. Firmly and
lovingly, parents can encourage their children to dream actively and to
establish the goals that will let them realize those dreams.
Instilling self-reliance and self-confidence, and diminishing the fear of
failure are other crucial factors in encouraging a child's maximum potential.
This book will facilitate the development of those qualities as well as enhance
young people's chances for success by helping them control laziness and
stubbornness.
Jeske offers numerous personal examples and case histories to illustrate
each point, providing concrete suggestions for effective discipline, rewards,
and family harmony. Finding contentment, he observes, requires long-term
commitment and hard work. Children must often overcome natural tendencies
towards selfishness, relative values, and worrying. With Bring Out the
Best in Your Child, parents can help their sons and daughters look to a
bright, productive future.

Excellent book for all children and parents

I ordered this book with doubt only because I had never heard of it before. I have never read a book that helped my family so much. All children are different and this book covers the huge realm of all attitudes and tempermants. Again, this book comes highly recommended
