In every family, parenting is filled with challenges as well as
joys, and making the choice to become a parent means choosing both.
But if you come from a troubled or dysfunctional family where you
were emotionally or physically abused, you may wonder if you are
really ready to parent children in a healthy way. The example set
by your own parents taught you what you don't want for your
children. How can you overcome this painful legacy and create what
you do want: a stable, well-functioning home where your children
feel safe, valued, and loved? The good news is that dysfunctional
patterns and troubled lives do not have to be handed down to the
next generation. Janet G. Woititz has counseled families for more
than 20 years. Now, in Healthy Parenting, she draws upon her vast
practical experience as a therapist, mother, and best-selling
author to bring you the support and guidance you seek in creating a
safe, nurturing environment for your children. Clear, direct, and
practical, Healthy Parenting contrasts what happens in a healthy
family with what happens in an unhealthy family, enabling you to
identify the trouble spots in your own background and to overcome
them in dealing with your own children. Effective parenting,
Woititz contends, emerges from being able to recognize how your
upbringing influences the way you raise your children, and knowing
how to keep what works and discard what doesn't. Writing with
clarity and compassion, she explores the vital challenges every
parent faces - issues such as understanding boundaries, tolerating
feelings, responding to a crisis, and learning to emphasize love
rather than shame in teaching or disciplining a child. Throughout
Healthy Parenting, frank and clarifying examples of common
parenting dilemmas and triumphs bring these matters into brilliant
focus. When adult children of troubled families learn what normal
parenting is and what it is not, great burdens can be lifted,
healing can take place, and loving, secure children can flourish in
warm and stable homes. Whether you are just thinking about having
children or have already become a parent, Janet G. Woititz offers
the help and reassurance you need to make healthy parenting a part
of your home.
