More Than Words empowers youth who are in foster care, court-involved, homeless or out of school to take charge of their lives by taking charge of a business. MTW believes that when system-involved youth are challenged with authentic and increasing responsibilities in a business setting, and are given high expectations and a culture of support, they can and will address personal barriers to success, create concrete action plans for their lives, and become contributing members of society. More Than Words began as an online bookselling training program for youth in DCF custody in 2004 and opened its vibrant bookstore on Moody St in Waltham in 2005 and added its Starbucks coffee bar in 2008. MTW replicated its model in the South End of Boston in 2011, thereby doubling the number of youth served annually.

From the rear cover

Bestselling authors and founders of the STEP program Dr. Don Dinkmeyer and Dr. Gary McKay have helped millions of parents raise confident and caring children. Here, they combine new insights and time-honored wisdom to tackle such current - and crucial - issues as stepparenting, the "new" nuclear family, drugs, sex, and AIDS. Raising a Responsible Child will teach you such vital skills as understanding your children's behavior - and misbehavior; building your child's self-esteem through encouragement; using discipline methods that make your child, not you, responsible for behavior; listening to your children and respecting their feelings and opinions; and helping your child develop decision-making skills.
