Autonomy Circles
This book describes a paradigm created by the author about thirty years ago that outlines the parenting process from birth to adulthood. The paradigm offers a road map to help children grow from complete dependence to complete autonomy. Several essential concepts are described that parents can use to help them transfer power or control to their children in a gradual process. Parents begin with virtually all the power and this paradigm offers them critical principles they can use to transfer power to their children in a thoughtful, sequential manner with a high likelihood that their children will be well prepared for adult life.
