In The Nurturing Family...parents See Themselves As Empowering Leaders Not As Authoritative Bosses. They See Their Job Primarily As One Of Teaching Their Children How To Be Truly Human In All Situations. They Readily Acknowledge To The Child Their Poor Judgment As Well As Their Good Judgment; Their Hurt, Anger, Or Disappointment As Well As Their Joy. The Behavior Of These Parents Matches What They Say.
