Why Can't I Be the Parent I Want to Be?: End Old Patterns and Enjoy Your ChildrenPlenty of literature exists on good parenting, but parents learn little about emotional obstacles to following the advice. Schemas can be rigid enough to enslave, so the authors show readers how to initiate change by analyzing schemas, identifying triggers and thoughts, and monitoring recurrences. |
