Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This is a breakthrough book. Parents don't need any more advice on how to raise their children. Most parents already know what to do. What parents do need is to recognize the emotional obstacles that keep them from carrying out all the good advice they've already gotten and that prevent them from doing what's best for their kids.

These emotional obstacles are known as schemas. These schemas act like lenses that exert a surprisingly powerful influence upon our lives. This is the first book to show parents how to recognize their own problem schemas and take steps to stop making the same mistakes, over and over again.

The authors teach through highly engaging stories. You will learn about the emotional obstacles to good parenting by observing three families in a fascinating journey of self-discovery. You will be touched by these families' hopes, fears, dreams, vulnerabilities, and humanness. And you'll learn from their struggles as they grapple with adversity, unexpected events, frustration, hope, and change.
