<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Concerned that an entire generation is being raised to be narcissistic, selfish, and shallow, Rigby offers parents practical ways of equipping young people to respectfully interact with a world outside themselves.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Child expert Jill Rigby reveals the dangers of the self-esteem parenting philosophy and offers an alternative approach that teaches children to respect both themselves and others.</b> <p/>After decades of experimenting with child-focused parenting, parents are beginning to realize that the result is often self-centered children who tend toward narcissism, selfishness, mediocrity, and dysfunction. Rigby espouses a new goal of parenting: gently bumping children off self-center and teaching them to be unselfish givers instead. <i>Raising Unselfish Children in a Self-Absorbed World</i> dares to revisit the values of compassion, forgiveness, thanksgiving, and unselfishness and insists that we can instill these values in our children. <p/>With her encouraging approach, Rigby helps parents realize it's never too late to change their children's point of view and equip them to interact with kindness and respect in a world outside themselves. Teaching concepts, such as developing a passion for compassion, learning to give by forgiving, and filling every day with thanksgiving, <i>Raising Unselfish Children in a Self-Absorbed World</i> offers a new paradigm for parenting--one that educates the heart and teaches moms and dads how to parent with a new end in mind.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>I'm so tired of hearing parents on and off the air introducing their children by telling me, 'I have two beautiful children.'
