"The STEP book series written by Don Dinkmeyer, Sr., Gary D. McKay and Don Dinkmeyer, Jr., is just one of the parenting book series based on the work of psychologist Alfred Adler. Adler's non-punitive concepts of democratic and respectful parenting are truly amazing for the important job of raising responsible children. The STEP series has done a good job of organizing these principles into easy to follow parenting books for young children, school age children and teens teaching you how to be an effective and respectful parent without spanking, nagging, bribing or grounding."
