By John Gray, Ph.D.

Bestselling author John Gray turns to the most powerful and profound relationship in people's lives - the bond between parents and child - to show parents how to help their children become strong, confident, morally sound adults.

The book is based on the premise that children respond better to positive rather than negative reinforcement. Accordingly, this program focuses on rewarding, not punishing, children and fostering their innate desire to please their parents.
