Giving The Love That Heals

This book is essential reading for anyone planning on becoming a parent, or anyone who is a parent already, regardless of the age of their children and the couple's martial status.

Harville and Hunt provide readers with this unique opportunity for personal transformation that will lead to a more conscious parenting, and thus a healthier relationship with our children. 'Giving the Love That Heals' explores various issues such as: the different needs of children at each of six developmental stages - and six dynamic programs for parents' own growth as they give their children the love they need; the maximizer and minimizer parents - the types of defensive styles that internally shape what parents say, how they behave, and the ways they interact with their own children; safety, support and structure: how to give children what they really need. Parents will learn how to give the love that children need, rather than what parents think they need, and learn how to become the best possible parents while enabling children to become their best too.
