Description: Katherine Gordy Levine, a professor, psychotherapist, and parent, offers a program designed to deal with the guilt, anger, and self-doubt that sometimes plague all mothers and fathers. Acting as a parent's "emotional fitness" trainer, she introduces countless strategies for dealing with specific negative feelings and the resulting problems. These include relaxation and visualization exercises, constructing a "feeling thermometer," and creating a personal mission statement.

Parents Are People Too offers relief from the frustration that is a normal part of family life, helping readers to remember that the key to ensuring a child's happiness lies within our own emotional well-being.
