The Question Behind the Question an international bestseller over the last decade, Raising Accountable Kids provides a tool called the QBQ or The Question Behind the Question that will help every parent look behind questions such as 'Why won't my kids listen?' or 'When will they do what I ask?' to find better ones--QBQs--like 'What can I do differently?', or 'How can I improve as a parent?'
This simple but challenging concept turns the focus—and responsibility – back to parents, who then have no choice but to be accountable for their actions!
John G. Miller emphasizes that teaching accountability should start at home. Parents are the first role models for their children, and they should demonstrate accountability in their actions. This will help children understand the concept better and apply it in their lives.
Miller suggests that parents should encourage their children to ask questions. This will not only enhance their curiosity and critical thinking skills, but also make them more accountable. They will learn to take responsibility for finding solutions rather than relying on others.
In Raising Accountable Kids, the author advises parents to teach their children to avoid blaming others for their mistakes. Instead, they should learn to take responsibility for their actions. This will help them grow into responsible and accountable adults.
John G. Miller stresses the importance of teaching children about the consequences of their actions. This will help them understand that every action has a reaction, and they should be prepared to face the consequences of their decisions.
The book explores the link between accountability and self-esteem. When children learn to take responsibility for their actions, they develop a sense of self-worth. This boosts their self-esteem and makes them more confident in their abilities.
