The Confident Child: Raising Children to Believe in Themselves

Raising confident, motivated and caring children is a parent's greatest challenge. Drawing on her extensive research on children and parents, Terri Apter has created a guide based on "emotional coaching" - learning to respond appropriately to a child's feelings - that helps parents raise children to solve problems, to be socially active and understand others, and to manage emotions, all of which are crucial to developing confidence and functioning successfully in society.
