THE FREEDOM OF LIMITS: Setting & Testing Limits
During
extensive interviews with kids, dads and granddads, and hundreds of hours
of informal discussions with moms and grandmoms - in three countries -
six recurring and predictable points of conflict between children and
parents were identified. My professional and personal experiences corroborated
these "clashpoints."
Published by FamilySense
Press, a DADS Unlimited subsidiary, this booklet is the first in
our series on understanding and dealing with parenting clashpoints.
It offers a framework for understanding the value of setting limits
and provides practical ideas for handling challenges as they arrive.
Each booklet ends with Parenting Checkpoints that serve
as summaries, offer strategies for developing the qualities discussed,
provide opportunities to assess progress and to stimulate more thinking
and growth. These Checkpoints also serve as a tool to facilitate
communications between parents and between parents and their children.
