Helping Kids Help

Perry Good explains how we can teach kids to assume personal responsibilities without relying on coercion. By basing our efforts on the idea that we are internally motivated and our behavior is purposeful, we can teach them to self-evaluate their actions and the overall direction of their lives. As parents & teachers, we must learn how to use techniques of informing, encouraging, and recognizing to help put the "self" back in self-esteem and encourage responsibility.
