Growing Up Again: Parenting Ourselves, Parenting Our Children
by Connie Dawson & Jean Illsley Clarke
Hazelden: Center City MN, 1998
Growing Up Again is a valuable book for parents who wish to
change the pattern of parenting learned in their own childhood
from their own parents. What is healthy?
Exploring a continuum of both nurturance and structure, the
authors help parents recognize how extremes - rigid criticism
vs marshmellow abandonment, abuse vs overindulgence -
teach children unhealthy lessons about the world as well as
themselves. This is a great resource for those who wish to
explore how to balance nurture and structure in parenting their
own children.
~ Stephen Douglas, 2004
