The authors of this book offer valuable perspectives on ways to talk to children and students regarding their choices in behavior and the consequences of decisions that are theirs to make. As parents and teachers, we often try to control the outcomes of others' choices, resulting in disappointments for us and not necessarily for the individuals who make the decisions because we try so hard to prevent those we love from "failing." The lessons in this book delineate boundaries for parents and teachers to follow indicating what choices are ours and what choices and resulting consequences are others' to make and accept. The principles are relevant from the preschooler to the adult, and the application of verbiage empowers the individual who understands its usage.
