Based on the self-help classic, Stop Walking on Eggshells, this
essential guide offers powerful skills and strategies for parenting
a child of any age with borderline personality disorder
(BPD)-without sacrificing their family or themselves. If you have a
child with BPD, you are all-too-aware of the behavioral and
emotional issues that are linked to this disorder-including rages,
self-harm, sexual acting out, substance abuse, suicidal behaviors,
physical and emotional attacks, and more. Traditional parenting
strategies that work on other kids just don't work with a
borderline child. But you shouldn't lose hope. The good news is
that there are parenting strategies that do work. With this
comprehensive resource, you will learn all about borderline
personality disorder, how it shows up in children, adolescents, and
your adult children, how to obtain proper treatment, and how to
manage your child's condition at home. You'll find proven-effective
strategies to help you communicate and improve your relationship
with your child of any age, and, as a result, improve your own life
as a parent and an individual. You'll also find real stories and
advice from parents who have also experienced raising a child with
BPD. Most importantly, you'll learn how to maintain boundaries and
validate your child while also meeting your own needs. Whether your
child is 5 or 25, this book offers tools to help you and your
family thrive.

yourself, set boundaries, and cultivate healthy communication with
a loved one who is diagnosed with borderline personality disorder
(BPD). If you have a loved one with BPD, you need real,

BPD. The SET (support, empathy, truth) method outlined in this book
