How do you raise children to govern themselves through their inner voice of reason, listening to their own integrity? A child of any age will benefit when she or he learns how to follow inspiration and intuition.
Readers learn from this book the special qualities common to all self-inspired children and the crucial differences between internal and external direction.
The core of the book illustrates the seven key strategies necessary to raising self-inspired children:
- Creating a family environment conducive to self-inspiration
- Teaching children how to develop effective internal dialogue and avoid counterproductive internal dialogue
- Using empathy training
- Teaching children to develop and rely on their intuition
- Using guidance strategies that encourage internal direction
- Helping children develop defeat recovery skills so that they remain self-inspired
