Raising positive, drug-free kids in a negative world is not easy, but in the long run, it's easier than raising negative ones. Now, the best-selling motivational author reveals his simple prescription for success with children, step by positive step.

Drawing on the most comprehensive measurable results ever made available to an author-his "I CAN" course, taught in more than 5,000 schools with more than three million participants - and his own successes and failures as a parent - Zig Ziglar offers sensible guidelines on:

Praise and encouragement: Children can hardly have too much of the right kinds. Look for the good in your children and you will find it.

Drugs: The latest statistics and a winning approach to teaching kids to say no, starting with cigarettes.

Time: Quality time is not enough. Kids need a lot of time with parents (and virtually none with TV).

Discipline: The loving parent will not shirk it.

Sex and romance: Be frank, be firm, be realistic.

And much more, in a book that is both refreshingly old-fashioned and startlingly new.
