The Free Child: A Libertarian Guide to Raising Independent, Self Confident Children

Description

FOR THE FIRST TIME: - The key to solving all your child-raising problems, based on self-discipline and freedom of choice - A fundamental set of values which children can easily integrate from their own experience and their parents' example - A revolutionary method which prepares your child to take his place in the world as a confident, capable individual - A practical and comprehensive guide ranging from self-feeding to sexual responsibility Do you often wonder if you're doing the best you can for your children? Do you feel at times that you've been unfair with them, or you have handled a situation badly? The majority of books on childrearing offer good ideas for solving specific difficulties, but they have no consistent rules that can be applied to all age groups and all problems. Here this book departs radically from the standard literature. It describes a simple philosophy that may be applied to all aspects of the parent-child relationship, and thus provides basic guidelines for solving any problem that may arise. It aims to show that parents and children can live in mutual respect, esteem and happiness, and share the same- values – values so elementary that they can be thoroughly integrated by the age of five. If you would like to have the joyful experience of sharing your home with happy, confident, independent, responsible and self-disciplined children, then this book is for you.' Fully illustrated, with concise summaries of every chapter, suggestions for supplementary reading, bibliography and index.
