Description
Parenting is complicated, often really hard, and sometimes overwhelming. Here is a powerful resource to make it more understandable, more manageable, and more rewarding! Roots and Wings: Mindful Parenting in Recovery provides invaluable knowledge, awareness, and step-by-step guidance for more successful parenting, with special content for parents in recovery from addiction. Roots and Wings dives deep into the reality that quality parenting doesn't happen easily or by coincidence-it necessitates conscious awareness and intentional effort. Readers will find a deeper understanding of their own and their children's most important mental-emotional needs, as well as how to meet those needs. Parents will learn how to navigate the swirling storms of strong emotions that so often impair the ability to interact and communicate with their children in ways that are healthy and helpful; to talk with their kids so they will listen and listen such that their kids will become more comfortable talking to them.
Roots and Wings: Mindful Parenting in Recovery presents a comprehensive yet user-friendly approach to attuned, skillful parenting grounded in the principles and practices of mindfulness and twelve-step-oriented recovery, along with elements of psychological/developmental theory, contemporary counseling approaches, and a touch of neuroscience. It is the only book on parenting oriented toward parents in addiction recovery. While there are specific sections for parents in recovery from addiction, most of this invaluable information and guidance is applicable for all parents.
Roots and Wings provides a treasure trove of invaluable evidence-based information along with easy to follow step-by-step guidance on specific practices and actions to enhance the quality of their parenting, as well as their own mental and emotional well-being. With chapters divided into short clearly identifiable subsections, readers of Roots and Wings will benefit from being able to conveniently return to specific sections as needed, based on their interests and evolving parenting challenges. Roots and Wings will be of great benefit to anyone who wants to learn how to develop the awareness and skills to become a better and more successful parent. The practical user-friendly guidance this book provides will help people-whether or not they are in recovery-become the parents they want to be and the parents their children need.
