Parenting Skills - A Practical Handbook for Every Parent

What gets in the way of good connection? It is about the good practices which the parents should adopt to have a perfect relationship with their children. As a parent, our communication with the children has a deep bearing on their bringing up. Today’s parenting is different from earlier years’ parenting. Kids today are more independent when it comes to learning new things as they just log on to search engines instead of going to parents for their queries and in this process, they learn many undesirable things also. So today unlearning is also important along with learning. iv We ourselves wish we had read it as a young parent as many new things have been taught to us by our children, particularly our daughter, who is a practitioner in the Family Relationship Centre in Australia. Many ideas and insights that she has discussed with us have been incorporated in the book.

The book explores how parental counselling and guidance affects children. Designed for use by parents, this book is a practical tool in improving the emotional and social development of the children. The Book is based on scientific research and practical evidence. All the topics in the Book have been very carefully selected based on the outcomes of discussions with many parents across the globe. The Book also encompasses ideas and tips from experts that are direct and to the point.

In the beginning of each topic, various situations based on facts and incidents have been mentioned. The Book also highlights some experiences of parents who have faced specific real-life challenges in bringing up their children. How can the parents have good connection and rapport with the children and enhance it further where both parents and children will be happy has been immensely discussed. In the contemporary world, the happiest parents are those whose children are well behaved, good in soft skills and moving on the right track in their lives. Most of the parents feel that the biggest achievement of their life is their children being obedient and the solid research confirms this point that ‘obedient children are happy children’. A child’s happiness reflects an optimistic view of life, an optimistic view of his or her ability to endure and overcome obstacles and also an overall sense of well-being.
