The bottom line is, according to the Positive Psychology article, UPR is an attitude that allows the child to feel loved and accepted and facilitates the development of self-worth and self-confidence. Not everyone has this sense of self worth and it is important to have or develop this. One way to have a student (or a child you are parenting) is to allow some independence. This can be choice on assignments, self reflection. If the child has more independence, they in turn have more confidence, and that will mean they will be more likely to increase their effort (intrinsic motivation) to progress towards any goals they may have. 

In terms of sharing this information, I would pick my wife. We love being parents and are always looking for ways we can be better in that role. We both (in my opinion) do an outstanding job and I think it leads to good discussion on what we are trying to achieve with out children (children who are confident and show love to all).
