Also rejecting the permissive parenting style now popular that favors ''reasoning'' (which, according to the author, imbues children with a victim mentality), Bailey instead promotes instilling an awareness of misbehavior through communication. Bailey dismisses the familiar fear-inspired approach to discipline many grew up with (including threats and punishment), claiming that it inevitably leads children to make biologically driven choices and may even effect the brain due to the high levels of stress hormones released. By following the author's ''7 Powers for Self-Control'' (attention, love, acceptance, perception, intention, free will and unity), the parent will then be equipped to use the ''7 Basic Discipline Skills'' (including choices, encouragement and consequences). A developmental psychology specialist and early childhood education expert, Bailey contends that the difficult but rewarding task of guiding children's behavior starts only when parents are able to discipline themselves and become models of self-control.
