Easy to Love, Difficult to Discipline

by Becky A Bailey PhD, Harper Collins Publishing, NY, 2001

Description

This book offers youth ministry leaders a framework for mentoring young people who are learning self-management skills. Dr. Becky Bailey believes adults need to understand their own emotions and demonstrate consistent self-control so that children will see them as role models for how to behave. To help adults develop the skills they need to mentor children, the book includes chapters on the powers adults have for self-control, basic discipline skills, choices, encouragement, empathy, and more.
