Chapter 7 to The Art of Managing Everyday Conflict
The Art of Positive
Parenting: The Empowered Parent, The Empowered Child projected release in 2005
The Art of
Positive Parenting covers a variety of issues that parents of all kinds have to
deal with. The book is a continuation of the theory of hierarchical and equity
models of power and how these model contribute to the destruction or success of
the family. This takes an interesting look at the interactions between temperament
and attachment and how that affects the development of children in
today’s culture. Also discussed are issues of communication and many
strategies aimed at helping the family to succeed. The unique twist to this
book is that it helps the parent to focus back on themselves to see what they
can learn from their children.
