It s not what you do to young people, but what they do for themselves!


With all the talk these days about discipline and young people, this game-changing book from Jim Roberson comes at things from a totally different angle. Discipline for Jim is not something you do to others or even something you do to yourself. It is something you do for yourself. His practical yet powerful philosophy is drawn from many years working with young people in the UK both in and out of school, as well as from his own powerful story: growing up in New York, becoming a successful American football player and getting himself a college education against the odds. The Discipline Coach is a book that is as powerful as it is inspiring. It will transform the way you approach even the most challenging of young people to help them succeed.

?The book should be used by social workers, counselors, teachers and others that are concerned about changing the negative attitudes of adolescents and giving them a positive way of thinking for the future.
Lula Linder, MSW, LSW, Founder and Executive Director, Ad House Inc
