Children Learn What They Live (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780761109198)

The timeless New York Times bestselling guide to parenting that shows the power of inspiring values through example.

A unique handbook to raising children with a compassionate, steady hand--and to giving them the support and confidence they need to thrive. Expanding on her universally loved poem "Children Learn What They Live," Dorothy Law Nolte, with psychotherapist Rachel Harris, reveals how parenting by example--by showing, not just telling--instills positive, true values in children that they will carry with them throughout their lives. Addressing issues of security, self-worth, tolerance, honesty, fear, respect, fairness, patience, and more, this book of rare common sense will help a new generation of parents find their own parenting wisdom--and draw out their child's immense inner resources.

If children live with criticism they learn to condemn.
If children live with sharing, they learn generosity.
If children live with acceptance, they learn to love.

And more wisdom.
