Family Conflict

Successful people confront well. They know that setting healthy boundaries improves relationships and can solve important problems. They have discovered that uncomfortable situations can be avoided or resolved through direct conversation. But most of us don't know how to have difficult conversations, and we see confrontation as scary or adversarial. Authors Henry Cloud and John Townsend take the principles from their award-winning and best-selling book, Boundaries, and apply them to a variety of the most common difficult situations and relationships.

Playful and practical, When You Wonder, You're Learning introduces a new generation of families to the lessons of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. By exploring the science behind the iconic television program, the book reveals what Fred Rogers called the “tools for learning”: skills and mindsets that scientists now consider essential. These tools - curiosity, creativity, collaboration, and more - have been shown to boost everything from academic learning to children’s well-being, and they benefit kids of every background and age.

We live in a fearful, anxiety-driven age where the problems and challenges of the world assault us from every direction and every media source, and they far exceed our abilities to respond to them. The sense of desperation that often comes of this leads to discord and violence: from bitter, cutting remarks to the atrocities of war; from pervasive racism to knee-jerk micro-aggressions. It contributes to our current, peace-bankrupt social discourse, leading to patterns of dismissing, dividing from, condemning, or hating people.

Is it even possible for toddlers to do as they’re told? Can parents guide their kids effectively without resorting to punishment and yelling?

It is becoming increasingly more and more common to enter into divorce or custody proceedings with a narcissistic partner. Narcissism is caused by DRD4 long gene polymorphism (source: NCBI) as well as many other disorders being caused by an explosion of this gene. The population of narcissists have exploded since 2015 when we began researching and writing our narcissism library of books.

Family is difficult because family - every family - is an echo of the gospel. Family can be the source of some of the most transcendent human joy, and family can leave us crumpled up on the side of the road. Family can make us who we are, and family can break our hearts. Why would this social arrangement have that much power, for good or for ill, over us?

Acclaimed as the essential guide for parents of children between the ages of three and six, this work is based on Dr. Severe’s philosophy that children’s behavior is often a reflection of their parents’.

The focus is not on what is wrong, but on what parents can do right.

In our attempt to be good parents and raise good kids, one area that parents continually find frustrating is the problem of getting them to listen, cooperate, and follow instructions.

Being a good parent is one of the most difficult, yet most rewarding, jobs a person can have in his or her lifetime. Being the parent of a teen is an especially daunting phase of the journey. As parents begin to notice the significant changes that come with adolescence (physical changes brought about by puberty, the constant angst and moodiness, and of course the classic eye-rolling and the I-know-it-all attitude), they wonder just what happened to their happy, sweet, and affectionate young boy or girl.

Ser padres es la aventura más arriesgada pero gratificante que se pueda vivir. La educación de los hijos comienza cuando nacen. Para que el niño pueda desarrollar su autoestima, y convertirse en alguien capaz de confiar en la vida y en los demás, hay que fijarse en lo positivo y no en lo negativo, reforzarle en lugar de castigarle, negociar y dialogar antes que imponer, hacerle ver que nadie nace enseñado, que hay que cometer errores para aprender.
