Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Parenting Blunders examines the common mistakes parents make while raising their children. Drawing from more than three decades of experience as a church minister, college and seminary professor, counselor, and extensive cross-cultural speaking engagements at family life conferences, the author reveals parenting patterns that transcend race, ethnicity, gender, socio-economic background, and religious orientation.The book's eleven chapters each explore a specific parenting blunder, including constantly comparing children, attempting to influence them through lectures rather than personal example, and showing favoritism. The final chapter addresses the often-overlooked mistake of neglecting your spouse, which can profoundly impact children and family life.Readers will quickly recognize how these parenting mistakes often contribute to the development of shame in children. Over time, this shame can become the foundation for diminished self-esteem, strained relationships, and a lack of healthy skills.Throughout the book, the integration of Christian spirituality into marriage and family relationships is woven naturally into the discussion. Biblical narratives are revisited to illustrate how these same parenting failures have produced painful, multi-generational consequences. At the same time, the book offers practical and growth-producing alternatives that encourage healthier, more effective parenting.
