YOU CAN RAISE DRUG-FREE CHILDREN despite peer pressures, the poor example of so many adults, a plethora o licit and banned substances, and a society where the answer to all discomforts seems to be "Take this pill." YOU CAN RAISE HONEST CHILDREN despite a fiercely competitive world which straight-arrow folds would lose every political debate, get laughed out of the courtroom, last five minutes tops on and ad writing team, and get constantly hammered by the "political correctness" police. YOU CAN RAISE SELF-CONFIDENT CHILDREN without taking steps aimed at boosting their self-esteem, catering to them from fear of creating psychic trauma, and "Playing therapist" when you talk together. YOU CAN RAISE SELF-RELIANT CHILDREN despite powerful influences in society - the professional community included-which attempt to keep teens on a short leash even as they approach the time for moving from home into an often turbulent outside world. THROUGHOUT THE CHAPTERS WE ALSO LOOK INTO: -Society's blind eye to the grave issue of our eroded quality-family-time. -Effective Communication-all the rage, except in the parent-child arena. -How an "act right away" parental mind-set makes misbehavior worse. -Why most socially approved punishments create more harm than good. -The "secret ingredient" fueling the huge proliferation of helping groups. -Why highly effective parents aren't given due credit for their successes. -How the "generation gap" truism takes the focus of unresolved issues. -Why family-group scenes swell mostly in commercials and in old films. -Our problem-focused ear-making child-raising a "treatable disease." -Long years of mutual friendship-the legacy of parent-child cooperation.
