Teenagers Learn What They Live By Dorothy Law Nolte & Rachel Harris Ph.D.

Teenagers Learn What They Live expands Dorothy Law Nolte’s famous poem (“Children Learn What They Live”) and applies it to the teen years.
It focuses on how modeling — not lecturing — shapes character: when teens see responsibility, respect, honesty, boundaries, empathy, etc. in their environment… they internalize those traits.
It’s a parenting guide for building integrity, independence, confidence, emotional resilience, and decision-making through example + connection.
