How do we build strong families in a world that threatens to tear the very fabric of the family apart? This guide provides parents with a 3-step program to improve family communication and give children a sense of consistency and security. These simple steps are: a family legal system, a family economy, and family traditions. The plan allows parents significant opportunities to praise and reward their children, while promoting open communication. Linda and Richard Eyre, authors of the No. 1 national best seller Teaching Your Children Values, have 9 children of their own.

"I liked this book a lot. It had great, actual ideas that I can implement into my family and it was good to see "the whole picture" of why we WANT strong families. This book was published in 1994 and their kids all turned out pretty well, so I'm *pretty sure* it's worth using their ideas." — NaDell (4 out of 5 stars)
