内容简介
Why do so many of our kids–raised in the most affluent nation
on earth–fail to thrive and strive and enter adulthood lacking
appropriate and effective coping skills? Drs. Swihart and Cotter
have come up with a revolutionary theory on why our kids are having
such a tough time of it today: It is because we allow our children
to manipulate us, and the world around them, rather than teaching
them how to respond to life and life’s tough situations. The result
is that manipulative behavior is directly tied to low self-esteem,
which only heightens its negative impact on kids, families, and the
larger communities we live in. The good news is that Drs. Swihart
and Cotter have created a radical and clinically proven program for
breaking manipulative behavior and getting our kids back on track.
The program teaches parents to say no without feeling guilt; to
resist the urge to feel responsible for their child’s happiness; to
view their children as emotionally competent and resilient; and
most importantly, to realize that effective parenting means
allowing your child to make mistakes and develop a sense of
competence, which leads to enhanced self-esteem and an ability to
live independently and successfully in the real world.

Drawing on their twenty-five years in private practice, the authors
illustrate their program with examples of successful kids, as well
as case studies of how parents have regained control and
effectively blocked their children’s manipulative behavior. The
positive results will enlighten, and even astound you, and give you
the tools needed to become a better parent.
