Opis

This 2nd Edition of Breaking Free, Starting Over has exciting revisions with proven parenting strategies that make successfully parenting in the aftermath family violence possible. In this ever-changing world, roles and parenting expectations are increasingly leaving families frustrated with the demanding challenges they face. For far too long, we have focused too much on the problems without providing adequate solutions that work. CHANCE (Changing How Adults Nurture Children's Egos), a nonprofit organization based in Denver, Colorado, has been serving families since 1997 using our Healthy Habits, Happy Homes model. These revolutionary techniques are changing children's lives by promoting healthier parenting and helping families move forward from recovery to discovery. The goal of this book is safeguarding children, building trust and breaking the cycle of violence. Ms. Dalpiaz shows how a caring and thoughtful parent can recognize the trauma family violence inflicts upon children and how to help them recover and go on to live happy, violence-free childhoods. Herself a target of family violence, Dalpiaz earned degrees in psychology and early childhood education and eventually founded a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping children. Her book will interest not only parents exposed to the atrocities of abuse, but also foster parents dealing with the aftermath of family violence, as well as counselors, teachers, social workers, clergy, and students of the behavioral sciences.
