Family Centered Parenting: Your Guide for Growing Great Families

A life coach and educator shares his experience and wisdom to guide parents in nurturing their families with their own values. Children don't arrive with an instruction book. Raising children and providing for their physical as well as emotional needs is a difficult job for which we receive little training. It should not be surprising that parenting has become isolating, frustrating, and often robs both parent and child of the joy and satisfaction of this critical life experience. We often approach parenting reflexively, relying on what we learned from how we were parented. Family Centered Parenting offers families a model which will help parents develop a parenting style that reflects their unique values while providing guidelines, strategies, and specific tools necessary to make thoughtful decisions about their parenting options. More than just a narrative, this book contains real-life examples, dialogues, and activities to help parents refine their skills and grow in confidence as they navigate the parenting journey. Parenting coach and author Dr. Richard C. Horowitz reveals this journey is more a process than a program and is sufficiently flexible to be adapted to a variety of family situations—single parents, special needs children, gifted and talented children, blended families, and ranges in age of children. He implements effective communication principles, strategies to hold essential family meetings, discipline techniques that stress individual responsibility, and information on responding to unique family needs. The ultimate goal of Family Centered Parenting is to create a family structure which is empowering to both parent and child and leads to a harmonious and joyful family life.
