Palliative Parenting: A New Approach to Parenting Success: Workbook (Children's Mental Health Resource Center Books) Paperback – Large Print, June 25, 2024

Dominant parenting models focus on expectations, boundaries, consequences, goals, and achievement. Put simply, that doesn’t work for our kids. The Palliative Parenting approach focuses on quite the opposite: we encourage the natural development of skills based not on expectations, but on acceptance of what our kids are capable of in any given moment. In Palliative Parenting we parent with the primary intention to ease symptoms and to improve quality of life. We realize that regardless of what’s happening, we’re always making decisions about quality of life.Through the Palliative Parenting approach we learn that there is no one magical action we can take as parents that will change all of our child’s behaviors. Change has to start within us, within the parent, our attitudes and actions. Change comes when we use ourselves as the tool for change.A companion workbook for the groundbreaking CMHRC parenting course, Palliative Parenting.
