Description

This book is a guide to help children and parents overcome communications barriers to form a healthy, stable working family structure and prevent the type of dysfunction that results in long, expensive counseling regimens. The book’s first part, addressed to the children, explores common problems within family relationships, emphasizing empathy for parents and suggesting constructive solutions when these problems arise, and lays the groundwork for creating a system of family rules. The second part, addressed to the parents, provides advice on how to respect the dignity and personhood of children while still maintaining and enforcing order. Other subjects include the differences between rights and privileges and how to handle divorce.
