Publisher's Synopsis
Parenting is not only the most important job you'll ever have, it can be both the most challenging and most rewarding one, too. It seems that for most people, parenting is like a combination of immense joy combined with bouts of feeling overwhelmed, jolts of panicky "How do I handle this?" and occasional intellectual boredom ("I really miss the interaction with my friends at work..."). The purpose of Eye to Eye Volume Three is to show you how to sharply increase your joy and ease while sharply reducing the overwhelm, the panicky not-knowing how and any intellectual boredom that may arise while parenting. Eye to Eye Volumes One, Two and the forthcoming Volume Four present Gloria's advice. In contrast, Volume Three presents my proven ways of sharply increasing the ease, effectiveness and joy of your parenting. Among other key skills I'll teach you is how to change what I call your Blockers - your Self-Defeating Unconscious Habit Patterns, into self-supporting ones. Blockers that many parents frequently encounter include such things as: -Feeling overwhelmed. -Feeling exhausted. -Feeling like you don't have any time for yourself. -Not knowing how to handle a situation. -Finding it hard to balance your work as a parent with your paying job. -Feeling like you're not doing a good enough job as a parent. -Actually putting to work what you know will work when you're challenged. -Feeling like your relationship with your parenting partner has somehow gotten lost or diminished. -Missing intellectual stimulation. Do you encounter any of these in parenting your child? If so, which is most difficult for you to handle? Would you like to learn to rapidly and permanently change these Blockers into ease, effectiveness, bountiful energy and plenty of time for yourself and your relationship?
