Book excerpt: Dr. Thomas Gordon, author of the phenomenal bestseller P.E.T., expands the system he developed to help parents to encompass teachers and childcare workers.

Instead, he offers an important new strategy to help children become more self-reliant, make positive decisions, and control their own behavior.
