parenting - The Successful Parent - Advice on child development - parenting skills - raising kids
Description
The impetus for The Successful Parent comes from 45 years of combined experience in providing psychotherapy for parents, children, and families. Although we usually are dealing with specific problems when parents first come in to see us, we have found that what most parents actually need is a thorough education regarding the developmental stages of becoming a person, along with the intricacies of how to enhance that process in such a way that children develop into healthy adults with a solid sense of self and good self-esteem. "Success", in this sense, is not something that is characterized so much by outward achievement, but rather is concerned with the development of the inner person. Over the course of a lifetime, and especially during the first eighteen years of life, we each form our own unique sense of self, or "identity", that encompasses both the way that we define ourselves as well as the platform from which we interact with others and the community at large. It is this sense of who we are and what we build within ourselves that is our concern here. So when we talk about child rearing, what we are focusing on is how parents can guide their children through that inner process of development that not only gives them a sense of self-worth, but that also provides a base from which to relate well with others, negotiate problems and conflicts, and achieve personal expression through the identification and enhancement of talents.
What we hope to do is to give you the necessary tools to successfully guide your children through the stages of their personal development so that they may gain the capacity to reach for their greatest aspirations. The tools we are offering to assist you in this endeavor are:
Knowledge of how children normally develop, what defense mechanisms they need at different stages of this development, and what kinds of environments are best to enhance their optimum personal growth.
