This 1999 book offers a new “Golden Rule” for Emotionally Intelligent Parenting, and shows how parents can live by it: “Do unto your children as you would have other people do unto your children”. Based on information from research, first-hand experience, and case studies, this book provides strategies for enhancing self-discipline, responsibility, and emotional health in children and adolescents. Using five basic principles of emotional intelligence, parents learn how to communicate with children on a deeper and more gratifying level, and how to help them successfully navigate the intricacies of relationships.
