It is a fact that children learn, collaborate, and perform better with those around them when they feel calm and secure. But how can we intervene when these conditions are absent? What do we do when, in our efforts to convey messages of responsibility, right and wrong, empathy, they react or insist on a defensive stance?

What happens when our attempts to encourage or motivate them seem to yield no results? What do we do when we face a child or a teenager who repeats problematic behavior? How do we maintain our composure when we feel our patience wearing thin?

This book responds to the desire of many educators and parents to be supportive, frame and set boundaries correctly, without being authoritarian, permissive, or overly coercive. The 3Step approach bypasses many difficulties: it helps adults cultivate children's judgment while showing them how to guide them in building their character.

At the same time, children develop mental resilience and a good relationship with themselves and others.
