It has often been said: Give a man a fish, and he has food for a
day. Teach him to fish, and he can provide for himself over a
lifetime.
Raising a Responsible Child explains the phenomenon of the
"overindulgent parent"--who helps and protects too much -- and the
"underdeveloped child"--who never really learns to stand on his or
her own feet.
Today many parents are especially prone to shower their children
with love and attention and attempt to minimize stress by doing for
them. In the scurry of modern life, parents often can't resist
giving in to children's demands or solving their problems just to
keep the peace. While this is basically a loving approach, it does
not teach children how to be responsible and independent. Parents
learn the hard way that their overindulgence does more harm than
good: their children will only come to them with more demands and
act helpless in the face of new problems.
If you find yourself entrenched in this pattern, you can change
by using a system of consistent, straight forward, and logical
rules every day. You can teach your children to take responsibility
for their actions and earn their privileges -- and you will find,
perhaps to your surprise, that they are willing and ready to do
so.
Some of the issues this book will help you to deal with
are:
-- The whiny and overly demanding preschooler
-- The small child who throws tantrums in public to get his
way
-- The older child who is inconsiderate of family members
-- The teenager who is constantly late for school
-- The young adult, who can't get her life together and mooches off
her parents indefinitely.
Many parents discover that the tried-and-true methods detailed
here not only help their children handle emotions in a more mature
and constructive manner but also result in higher self-esteem and a
happier outlook on life.
