“Raising Able: How Chores Empower Families” will show you how to use family meetings, encouragement, family dinner and family chores to give your kids the priceless gift of self-discipline. Chores teach myriad skills, connect families, nurture a child’s self-esteem and get the work done together, as a team.
“Raising Able” is about the benefits of chores AND how to establish and sustain a positive relationship based on mutual respect using skills and strategies pioneered by Alfred Adler, MD. Susan’s stories and examples as a mother of four illustrate how chores, family meetings and encouragement will allow parents to retire as the family servants and get children — as young as 18 months — contributing to the family well-being.
Find out how to handle allowances, sibling rivalry, getting ready for school and how to use the powerful tool of family meetings to design the family you’ve dreamed of, and nurture your children to become independent, resilient and responsible adults who want to have a relationship with you, adult-to-adult.
