Making Healthy Families explains the elements required to make and
sustain healthy, functional families. This timely book describes
the family life stages, from "Becoming a Couple," to "Becoming
Parents," to "Raising Adolescents" and "Launching Children." It
educates about the predictable stresses of each stage of
development, and offers guidelines and hands-on exercises for
achieving a healthy adjustment in each stage of family life. A
chapter on "Trouble Shooting" offers couples an opportunity to plot
their own predictable stress points on the family journey, thereby
allowing them to better master their particular life struggles. A
chapter on "Divorce: Crisis and Transformation" offers advice to
parents for helping their children and themselves through trying
times. A chapter on "Stepfamilies" provides wisdom about the stages
of stepfamily development that make remarriage rewarding, helping
families avoid the pitfalls that cause over half of second
marriages to fail. Learn what makes families work-from structure
and communication to family style and characteristics of healthy
marital relationships. Cutting edge research is enlivened through
real-life questions about marriage, family, and parenting that have
been answered by Dr. Peterson at www.makinghealthyfamilies.com
