Children who are externally directed make decisions based on the peer groups, violent movies, sexually explicit television shows, and rap lyrics that permeate their lives. When children are self-directed, on the other hand, they use their power of reason like a sword to cut through the jungle of external influences. Fortunately, the author shows us, it is never too late to foster in our children the ability to weigh options, consider sources, and think for themselves.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n Filled with real-life examples, humorous anecdotes, and countless interviews with parents, children, and teachers, \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eRaising Children Who Think for Themselves\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdentifies the five essential qualities of self-directed children\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutlines the seven strategies necessary for parents to develop these qualities in their children\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddresses nearly one hundred child-raising challenges—from body piercing to whining wars—and offers solutions to help encourage self-direction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Print on demand - Ships in 1 to 3 months","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47150838743198,"sku":"HPC-9781582700472","price":27.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781582700472.jpg?v=1780272759","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781582700472","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
