Book
PLEASE NOTE : May Include Write-In Content. This book gives readers the tools to deal with the four main types of emotionally immature parents: Emotional parents, who may vacillate between over-involvement and abandonment, leading to frightening instability and unpredictability; Driven parents, who are often compulsively busy and can't stop trying to perfect everything, including other people; Passive parents, who may have a laissez-faire mindset and avoid dealing with anything upsetting; and, Rejecting parents, who may withdraw from any relationship with their child, showing either detachment or anger as primary responses. All emotionally immature parents have one defining characteristic in common, even if they differ in style - none of them puts their child's needs first. This book offers real skills for handling difficult family situations and moving on from the emotional wounds of childhood.Intergenerational RelationshipsPopular PsychologyDysfunctional familiesEmotional maturity
