Starting out as a parent can be an overwhelming experience for
which many people feel unprepared. While feeling the bewilderment,
stress, and exhaustion that is inherent in this life-changing
situation, a fleeting glimpse of what happens behind closed doors
would do wonders in letting parents know they are not alone in what
they are experiencing. This priceless new book provides parents
with the personal stories and professional insights that provide
them with this perspective. Through touching anecdotes and
professional guidance, this educational guide explores the
complexity of familial bonds, the idea of the befuddled parent, the
concept of a core or authentic self, and the redemption and
forgiveness needed to address all of our imperfections. In this
superb guide the author freely shares her own experiences as a
parent and frankly discusses the psychological issues that many
parents face. She proposes a relationship model of parenting, in
which parent and child learn flexibility and resilience as well as
mutual participation and influence. Tried and tested in the Toronto
household it is a paradigm that reduces family conflict, and
creates an atmosphere of harmony in the home. A field guide to the
intricacies of parenthood, the book explains the tools needed to
successfully traverse and enjoy its often rough terrain. Family
Entanglement takes readers through the familial arc from the early
years of sleep deprivation, the middle years of school and
homework, the teen years of sexuality and autonomy, and the
bittersweet era of grown children leaving home. Possessing an
all-encompassing approach that is supremely informative while
extraordinarily touching, this invaluable book provides parents
with an authoritative look at all the complexities of the parenting
experience.
