Ron Says…

“You should seek to increase your child’s self-determinism, his reliance on his analyzer, and help him to be independent of you and of his reactive mind.

“There is a difference between self-determinism and selfish determination. A self-determined person is one who acts after analytical computation, taking into consideration all data available as to the effect of the proposed action on himself and on other people! Selfish determination is the aberrated evaluation of data as they affect only one’s self.”
