The good news about bad behavior

Katherine Reynolds Lewis investigates why today's children seem less able to regulate their behavior and emotions, linking this trend to outdated discipline methods and modern parenting challenges.

She introduces 'The Apprenticeship Model,' which emphasizes empathy, connection, and skill-building over punishments and rewards.

Drawing on scientific research and real-life stories, Lewis provides practical advice for parents and teachers to foster self-discipline, confidence, and emotional health in children, ultimately creating happier, more capable families.
