Paperback. Condition: Very Good. We may be the most child-sensitive generation of parents the world has ever known-and the most confused and insecure. But it doesn't have to be that way. We can be both sensitive and in charge. We don't have to model our family on the consumer society where our kids become consumers of parental services and we become the servers with customers who are always right. Dr. William Doherty is convinced that it is possible to be a thoroughly modern parent - who values each child's sensitivities and developmental needs - while still having high expectations for children as persons who have responsibilities to family and community. He shows you how in Take Back Your Kids a timely, yet timeless, confidence-building book that backs up fresh insights with personal experience and advice parents can rely on.…

Paperback. Condition: Fair. Today's family is in crisis. Many diverse factors have combined to weaken its structure in American society: the conflicting needs and schedules of dual working parents; the ongoing fragmentation of our civic, cultural, and religious communities; the prevalence of divorce and remarriage; the advent of technological distractions like video games and computers. What was once a strong, cohesive unit has become, in many cases, no more than a loose grouping of individuals with individual timetables and agendas. However, now more that ever before, we have the freedom to shape the kind of family we want, rather that an obligation to conform to inflexible concepts of what a family should be. Nationally respected family therapist William J. Doherty believes that we can strengthen the ties that bind us together-and create new, more permanent ones in the process-through the use of family-specific everyday rituals. The Intentional Family -- a practical guide to avoiding conflicts and promoting understanding -- offers a myriad of simple yet effective methods for opening regular channels of communication between parents and their children, husbands and wives: from shared family meals and vacations, to regular "storytime," weekly drives, religious services, and monthly "spouse only" romantic dinners. Clearly presented and engagingly written, here are proven and indispensable strategies for reviving a lost sense of family -- useful guidelines that will help us make the most of our most important relationships.…
