My boys are grown and left the nest. Of the six published books, none are about children because our work does not focus there. When you are councilors, and you spend close personal time with people, you cannot help but notice emerging patterns of human behavior, which then become staples of your work. Our work, like that of Louise Hay who published this book, is about self empowerment and the raising of self esteem. Some years ago, people started to talk about specific troubles with their kids.
Children are often the greatest blessing in a life, and also the greatest challenge.
Many books have been written about good parenting and child psychology, but what we noticed was different. We started hearing more and more about a new kind of child, or at least a new kind of problem for the parent. The difficulties were odd in nature, in that they represented an interchange between adult and child that was unexpected and seemingly atypical of what our generation had experienced. We ignored it until we started hearing it from the professionals who deal specifically with children. They also were reporting similar challenges.
