Review

In I Swore I'd NEVER Do That, Elizabeth Fishel helps us define the "ghosts in the nursery"--the echoes of our own pasts that affect our own parenting. These ghosts take us over and mimic the voices and words of our parents we hear coming out of our mouths when we're upset. Fishel helps readers identify the "cycles of pain" we fall into--the repeating hurts that happen generation after generation. And she identifies four distinct parenting styles: Traditionalists, Rebels, Compensators, and Synthesizers. This book is appropriate and informative for all parents.
