Publisher's Synopsis
Should you even try to be friends with your child?
"Whether or not parents should try to be friends with their children-especially in the early developmental and teen years-is a hot-button issue in a lot of parenting circles. On one side of the debate are the hard-line parenting advocates, who believe befriending your child is detrimental to their development. But is it?
The authors of this book share their personal revelations and unique awareness that may hold the keys for you unlocking the secret garden of life as a parent that is easier, more fulfilling, and way more fun than you've ever imagined parenting could be! Have you ever noticed that a huge part of what makes parenting seem difficult is the avalanche of judgment we pile upon ourselves to determine if we're getting parenting right? If you no longer had to measure your parenting against what the studies say, what all the experts in the books say, or even what your own parents or in-laws say, what would you do differently, starting today? What if, instead of using other people's points of view as the barometer for our success or failures as a parent, we gave ourselves permission to consult own families to determine what, if anything, needed to change?
