Summary
This book by Marvin Marshall explains how to guide children's behavior without using punishments or rewards by focusing on responsibility and self-discipline. It encourages good choices because they are right, not because of fear or rewards. The approach uses four behavior levels: anarchy (no control), bossing (controlled by fear), cooperation (acting to please others), and democracy (self-motivated responsibility). The goal is to help children reach the democracy level. Instead of punishments or rewards, it promotes a positive environment, reflective questions, and empowering choices. This approach reduces stress, avoids conflicts, and builds confidence and trust in children.
