What are the best ways to achieve these goals? The rules have changed over the past generation. Are parents erring on the side of being too strict or too permissive? Dr. Steven Hughes’s presentation traces the development of the self-esteem “movement” and reviews some of the surprising (and relieving) results of research examining modern parenting practices. He closes with a set of practical recommendations on how to “stay out of his clinic” by following sensible, research-proven strategies to raise happy, helpful children with authentic self-esteem. **Steven Hughes, Ph.D, L.P,** is a pediatric neuropsychologist and a diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Neuropsychology. In his clinical work he has specialized in neuropsychological assessment of children and adolescents with a wide range of learning, developmental, and medical disorders. As a Montessori parent, Dr. Hughes has helped many families understand their child’s developmental needs.
