Giving The Love That Heals
The best-selling author of Getting the Love You Want (HarperPerennial, 1988) and his wife here explore the issues of love and healing relative to parenting in order to help parents nurture their own development while encouraging emotional wholeness in their children. Hendrix and Hunt believe that the most accurate predictor of how one will parent is how one was parented. Their theory suggests that by coming to terms with their own childhood, parents can help create a more positive future for their offspring. Not as pragmatic as William and Martha Sears's books on attachment parenting (e.g., Parenting the High-Needs Child, LJ 8/96) nor quite as overtly spiritual as Polly Berrien Berends's Whole Parent, Whole Child (HarperCollins, 1997. 4th ed.), this work is also not the typical child-rearing facts book. Given the popularity of the author's first title, this thought-provoking work is recommended for all public libraries.?Lisa Powell Williams, Moline Southeast Lib., Ill.Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
