Full Description
An invaluable guide for parents to learn how to effectively and empathically communicate with their children
Children who are hurt, angry, rejecting, and distant (HARD) can be challenging for parents. They can be rude, uncooperative, and disagreeable. They are often hard to relate to or connect with. Parents are left wondering how to handle such children before their relationship is irrevocably damaged. They need help!
Parenting Under Fire provides parents of hurt, angry, rejecting, distant children the guidance and support they need to connect with their children and repair relationships while opening the lines of communication. The book is divided into three sections, each focusing on a different form of communication: in-person, via text messages, and through letters--the latter especially beneficial for those wanting to bridge gaps and repair wounds with older children. It offers parents with the science-based hope and inspiration they need, as well as hundreds of practical suggestions about how to keep the communication loving, appropriate, and connected.
Losing or feeling like you are about to lose a relationship with a beloved child, regardless of the cause, is one of the most painful scenarios a parent will ever experience. Parenting Under Fire gives parents the tools and strategies to repair that relationship so their family can move forward with love, empathy, and understanding.
