You and your children can achieve the goals of self-confidence and self-esteem. Children desperately want to become adults, and they learn how from what they see around them.

Parents have enormous power to influence their children's lives and directions. Award-winning speaker, author and consultant Denis Waitley says that by recognizing and harnessing that power, they can help kids develop the sense of belonging, individual identity, self-worth, and competency they want and need to become strong, effective adults. Denis helps you understand:

- Authoritarian, authoritative, permissive and uninvolved parenting styles

- How to compete with media and peers to be your child's role model

- The importance of discovering a child's natural gifts

- Setting goals that are "out of reach" but not "out of sight"

With 14 books to his credit and over 10 million audio programs sold, Denis Waitley is one of America's best-known and well-respected authors, lecturers, and consultants. A graduate of Annapolis and holder of a doctorate in human behavior, he has won numerous awards for work with youth and is a director of the National Council on Self-Esteem.
