Raising Human Beings presents a collaborative model for parenting that replaces punitive tactics with problem-solving conversations. Drawing on clinical experience, Dr. Ross Greene explains how to identify a child's skills, temperament and motivations, then work together to create workable solutions that preserve parental influence while respecting independence.

Using everyday examples—from homework and hygiene to curfews and screen time—the book shows how respectful, structured dialogue can reduce conflict. Emphasis is placed on teaching empathy, encouraging honesty and building resilience through clear, practical guidelines rather than rewards or punishments.

Readable and evidence-informed, the book offers step-by-step strategies, scripts and checklists for parents, teachers and caregivers who want better cooperation without coercion. Practical techniques make it easier to turn disputes into shared problem-solving opportunities.
