Raising Children You Can Live With: A Guide for Frustrated Parents
Editorial Reviews
Linda Walsh, PhD
"As a therapist, I come armed with a very sympathetic ear, a systemic approach to problems, models of family therapy, and a wonderful book to help guide us through the tangle of difficult parent/child interactions that have led, in some cases, to a virtual impasse in family communications. The book is Jamie Rasers Raising Children You Can Live With: A Guide for Frustrated Parents. The language is clear and concise. The charts and diagrams help explain and clarify the text. There are examples for every guiding point made, and there is a brief summary at the end of each chapter for easy review. Armed with [Jamie Rasers book], both parents and therapists have a useful collaborator in the challenging task of guiding children to adulthood and children gain a helping hand in making themselves heard and understood."
Paulette Bochnig Sharkey, Independent Publisher, March 1999
"[Jamie Rasers] Strategic Interaction Approach" changes the base of power between parent and child, allowing parents to control situations, not to be in control of their child. For most parents, this is a big change, but an ultimately rewarding one as parents learn to play a personal role in their childs life (providing love, respect, fun friendship) without giving up the business role (discipline, guidance, structure, rules). He offers realistic, convincing examples of Strategic Interaction in action: phrases and positions to be memorized, rehearsed, and applied. There are fifteen "What Do I Do When" (My child lies? My child always blames others? My child is violent? Etc.) scenarios complete with sample dialogue. Concrete, practical guidance worth the price."
