Fatherhood Parenting

Con 100 consejos prácticos, el psicólogo y padre de familia Timothy J. Sharp nos enseña a transmitirles a nuestros niños las mejores herramientas para construir vidas felices. Este libro fue escrito pensando en nosotros, los padres ocupados. Como padres sabemos que nada es más importante que la felicidad de nuestros hijos. Pero ¿cómo enseñarles a ser felices cuando incluso para nosotros es un reto?

La llegada de los hijos cambia por completo nuestras vidas, tanto en pareja como a nivel individual. Y no siempre (o al menos, no todo el tiempo) el hijo representa a la perfección el sueño que teníamos en mente. Mi hijo me cae mal nos ofrece respuestas y consuelo desde la psicología a todas esas conductas ante las que no sabemos reaccionar, o ante las que reaccionamos mal, y nos invita a explorarnos a nosotros mismos para evaluar la relación que mantenemos con nuestros hijos en las diferentes etapas de su desarrollo.
