This handbook is for the parent, either in partnership or alone, facing up to the challenge posed by modern society in bringing up children. The authors offer practical ground rules pinpointing the needs of parents and children from nursery school to adolescence showing how confidence and trust can grow in families where there is mutual respect. The authors believe that parents as a group are often used and abused by their own children and society. Each generation becomes more insecure about its responsibilities. Lack of communication in the home can lead to many evils, from parent-bashing to parents who become doormats before their children's every demand and turn them into the world bursting with selfish needs. Powerful parenting, they contend, fosters love and loyalty in families.
