10 Secrets Wise Parents Know: Tried and True Things You Can Do to Raise Faithful, Confident, Responsible Children

How can parents know which approaches actually work? This book takes the question to the people who have lived through it: the children and young adults themselves. Its findings come from a ten-year study of more than 5,000 teenagers from LDS families, followed by a further group of around 1,000 young adults. From their answers, the authors distilled ten principles that appeared again and again in the happiest households. The chapters take these principles one at a time, under headings that point to practical matters such as creating a faith-centred home, using discipline wisely, and offering praise more often than criticism. Each principle is illustrated with case examples and hands-on advice that parents can apply at home.
