Parenting the Children of Now (Paperback)

Parenting the Children of Now offers a refreshing change in perspective about parenting that aims at recognizing adult attributes and belief systems that ultimately lead to dysfunction. It then teaches healthy life skills to overcome these belief systems. It shows parents how to mine for their own truth, understand their purpose in life, stop sabotaging their own and their children`s lives, discover their passion, and live their truth. Each chapter offers insightful ideas and strategies, and ends with exercises for parents to do for their own development and another set of exercises to do with their children.

From the Introduction:
"Life is a series of choices, moment to moment. In each of those moments are signposts, clues, and even synchronicities that bring us closer to our intended goals. If we are living in fear, if we are bound by uncertainties, if we are worried about what has already happened or what is next, we are missing the boat. Parenting the Children of Now will teach you how to shed those fears, uncertainties, and perceptions of being less than, and bring you clearly onto a path of universal co-creation.
Parenting the Children of Now will not only bring you self-empowerment, but will also empower your children. This is not just another self-help book. It is a book with an attitude. In it, you will find no-nonsense truth that may hit you square between the eyes or straight in the heart. So be it. If you don`t want change in any aspect of your life, please put this book down and go do something else.
We can indefinitely or forever skirt around our issues, or we can quit deluding ourselves and get to it. Parenting the Children of Now is a journey through self, an embracing of the infinite possibilities that are available to us as human beings and infinite souls."

Unless parents are comfortable with who they are they can`t help their children be who they are meant to be ? gifted beings with a message for humanity and the f

Teaching Family Therapy

This book examines the way the interaction between teacher and student (and student and teacher) creates a "learning context", within which family therapy teaching can be carried out.

Family-Focused Trauma Intervention

Treatment of abuse and neglect needs to be family-focused in order to reduce troubling symptoms, address family risk and relapse potential, treat cross-generational patterns, and remediate attachment deficits. Evidence-based practices are available for child and family abuse treatment, including Trauma Focused CBT, but new intervention strategies are needed that reduce family and client denial, lower defensiveness, and prevent re-traumatization during the treatment process. Family-Focused Trauma Intervention: Using Metaphor and Play with Victims of Abuse and Neglect translates issues central to abuse and neglect recovery into metaphorical stories and family-based interventions. Each chapter provides a summary of an issue or theme, one or more pertinent stories, and parallel family, group, and individual interventions. These stories and family-focused interventions help clients regulate affect in order to reduce frequency and intensity of troubling symptoms. This volume is the "missing link" in the current literature on therapy and metaphor, as it focuses specifically on parent-child interaction and trauma. The content of this book, which may be used within any theoretical framework, provides a wide variety of practitioners with a needed bridge between theory and practice.
