NEW YORK, Feb. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Joy Berry, the highly successful, pioneering educator and child development specialist says that if you follow the "Five Musts for Raising Responsible Children" you have armed your children for life. With more than 250 titles and 85 million copies of her living skills books sold, Joy Berry's message has always been the same: Help children help themselves so they can become responsible for their own lives.
Joy Berry's five musts for raising responsible children are:
- Parents need to begin transferring control to their children on day two of their lives.
- A child's happiness and success belong to the child, not to his or her parents.
- It is essential that parents empower their child with the proper living skills.
- Never use punishment with children; it doesn't work.
- One of the most important goals for a parent is to have their child 100% responsible for making their own decisions by age 12.
Joy Berry's tried and true approach to raising responsible children is focused on helping parents and directing children in the right direction. "Formal education cannot do it all. As parents we must help our children become independent," says Joy Berry. "As children become teenagers, they begin to pull away from their parents and want to begin living their own lives. It is imperative that several years before a child leaves the home, that they are fully responsible and are making good decisions. Following these basic steps can really provide children the tools they need for making all the right choices."
