How to be Respectful Parents, Respectful Kids?

Improving all my relationships is a personal goal and I sought help from the authors of Respectful Parents, Respectful Kids Sura Hart and Victoria Kindle Hodson.

They have identified 7 keys in their book to stop the struggle and learn to:

Express yourself so you're heard and respected.
Successfully handle disagreements or problem behaviors.
Motivate your kids to willingly contribute.
Set clear limits without using demand or coercion.
Empower your kids to open up, co-operate, and realize their full potential.
And create outstanding, lifelong relationship with your kids!
