Synopsis

Every individual has a family. This can be by birth, formal adoption or mutual adoption. However, when we come to families, the life within them is fundamental to us achieving, or not, self-actualisation. Family is important to society.

Families are made up of adults and children who are related to each other either by blood or through marriage. Healthy families are fundamental to contributing to and creating a healthy and productive society.

Families are micro ecosystems where communication, education, values and love are central to the overall development of all within the family structure. At the beginning of the relationship between parents and their children, the focus is on providing for and raising their children. Sometimes, this can be to the detriment of the personal growth and development of the parents.

In this book, Karlene guides you through the key points of family life and stresses the importance of families growing together and individually. Karlene shines a spotlight on what family life is and consciously unpicks what makes families function, within the home and outside of it. Karlene celebrates families, their influence and all they bring to society.

Karlene Rickard is a childcare expert who has overcome paralysis in order to write an acclaimed parent's guide to raising happy, well-adjusted children.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Karlene Rickard is a childcare expert who has overcome paralysis in order to write an acclaimed parent's guide to raising happy, well-adjusted children. Karlene began her career as a science teacher and later got involved in community work and counselling. She has worked extensively as a parent facilitator, trainer and counsellor in the UK, USA, Jamaica, Grenada and Trinidad for over 15 years. Her powerful 'Empowerment for Parents' parenting programme is credited with changing lives and creating happier families. She co-founded KJ Academy, a supplementary school in Leyton, East London, and a nursery/infant school in Jamaica where she worked holistically with families to develop their confidence and self-worth. Karlene is determined to do all she can to have a positive and lasting impact on society through empowering families to raise their children as happy, successful adults who will build healthy communities. She created 'Empowerment for Parents' programme and published the A to Z of parenting, a simple, easy-to-digest guide. Unlike other childcare manuals, the guide places equal emphasis on the wellbeing of both parent and child, recognising that physically and emotionally stressed adults are unlikely to be great parents, in spite of their best intentions. Karlene developed a family primary school in Jamaica; she was one of the pioneer facilitators in the UK of the innovative programme Strengthening Families, Strengthening Communities, and she presented the programme in the USA at a fatherhood conference 2001. Karlene's book, The A to Z of Parenting, deals with parents giving clear and honest feedback to their children and dealing with behavioural challenges. It highlights the value of spending quality time with children, outlines ways to educate them in the early years and focuses on the critical life skills that will carry them through to successful adulthood. Karlene was awarded the Millennium award in 1999 for developing a parenting programme for African Caribbean families. Karlene's autobiography, He Speaks has been widely read and has spread her message that positive relationship, genuine love and being attuned to the voice of voice of God is essential to build well-balanced adults. She has achieved all of this despite the challenge of living with Multiple Sclerosis.
