ALFIE KOHN |

Manipulating children's behavior with traditional
discipline may produce short-term obedience, but to help
kids grow into good people, we have to shift from "doing to"
to "working with" strategies -- and make it clear to them
that they don't have to earn our love.
Alfie Kohn writes and speaks widely on education,
parenting, and human behavior. His ten books include
PUNISHED BY REWARDS: The Trouble with Gold Stars, Incentive
Plans, A's, Praise, and Other Bribes (1993), NO CONTEST: The
Case Against Competition (1986), and, most recently,
UNCONDITIONAL PARENTING (2005). Kohn has been featured on
hundreds of TV and radio programs, including the "Today"
show and two appearances on "Oprah." He lives (actually) in
the Boston area, and (virtually) at
www.alfiekohn.org.
