Opis

This book is for any family with a child over the age of 8 who wants to build an environment of love, trust, self-determination, honesty and well-being in their household. Every technique, strategy and intervention in this book is evidence based and relies on 60 years of scientific research. It is the compilation of that data that provides you with parenting best practices only found in How Families Flourish. How Families Flourish is a transformational strategy for any family who wants to jumpstart the process of supporting their child into becoming a successful adult. The simple steps in this book outline how to build well-being, self-reliance, increased positive emotional experience and moral character. How Families Flourish is divided into three distinct sections. First, you will learn how to create a flourishing family environment, even amidst chaos. Second you will learn how to identify signature strengths of each family member and how to tap into those strengths. Third you will learn how to create a Family Charter, the roadmap to ongoing family success. When children are exposed to a home life filled with distraction, ambivalence, anger, pessimism, criticism, neglect or abuse, they lose self-confidence and well-being, and their capacity to love and be loved is diminished. This results in adult episodes of mental illness or loss of purpose and meaning in life. Children in floundering families embrace learned helplessness and lose their sense of belonging, leading to, at best, a mediocre early adulthood. How Families Flourish can direct you to the path to overcome the obstacles that make you a fully flourishing family.
