Building a Cooperative Partnership with Your Child

Renowned child psychologist and New York Times bestselling author of "Lost at School" and "The Explosive Child," Dr. Ross Greene explains how to nurture a better parent-child relationship while fostering empathy, honesty, resilience, and independence.

Parents have an important task: to discover who their child is – their abilities, preferences, beliefs, values, personality traits, goals, and direction – to feel comfortable with that, and then help them lead a life that aligns with it. However, parents also want their children to be independent, but not when that leads to poor decisions. They want to avoid being overbearing, but not at the cost of having an indifferent child. They desire a good relationship with their children, but not if it means being lenient. They don’t want to yell, but they want to be heard. Good parenting means finding the balance between a child's traits and the parents' desire to influence.

Dr. Greene strongly advocates for rethinking typical approaches to parenting and disciplining children. Through his well-known model of collaborative problem-solving, parents can forgo time-outs and reward systems; stop pushing, scolding, threatening, and punishing; give their children a sense of being heard and validated; and exert influence.

From homework to hygiene, from curfews to screen time, Dr. Greene provides parents with clear, actionable guidelines that empower both parents and their children. "Raising Human Beings" is inspiring and a turning point for parents, teachers, and other caregivers. The advice is sensible and empathetic, and readers will feel ready to build a better relationship with the children in their lives.
