AlbakiReads Editorial

A discipline framework centered on accountability and dignity

Barbara Coloroso presents parenting as an approach to building children’s inner discipline rather than relying on punishments, rewards, threats, or other quick fixes. The revised guide uses examples across everyday family conflict and more serious concerns, including sibling rivalry, teenage rebellion, bullying, substance abuse, and antisocial behavior. Its practical material addresses strong-willed children, alternatives to time-outs and bribes, and ways to help children work through disputes, mistakes, and restitution. Checklists and new chapters position the book as a hands-on resource for applying its principles to both routine misbehavior and difficult challenges.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Parents seeking discipline strategies that emphasize responsibility and problem-solving
  • Caregivers navigating sibling conflict, bullying, or strong-willed behavior
  • Adults interested in alternatives to threats, bribes, and time-outs

Book overview

The parenting classic, now revised with new chapters, checklists, and information about today's most pressing issues regarding our children

This bestselling guide rejects "quick-fix" solutions and focuses on helping kids develop their own self-discipline by owning up to their mistakes, thinking through solutions, and correcting their misdeeds while leaving their dignity intact. Barbara Coloroso shows these principles in action through dozens of examples -- from sibling rivalry to teenage rebellion; from common misbehaviors to substance abuse and antisocial behavior. She also explains how to parent strong-willed children, effective alternatives to time-outs, bribes, and threats, and how to help kids resolve disputes and serious injustices such as bullying.

Filled with practical suggestions for handling the ordinary and extraordinary tribulations of growing up, kids are worth it! helps you help your children grow into responsible, resilient, resourceful adults -- not because you tell them to, but because they want to.
