People do not see the same picture and individuals need to know how to accept them for who they are. Researcher Dreikurs stated, "Cooperation has to be won-it cannot be demanded; and the best way to gain cooperation is to talk freely about what each one thinks and feels and to explore together better ways of dealing with each other."" (Dreikurs & Soltz, 1964) .
