A Gift of Hindsight: Reflections on Successes, Failures, and Lessons Learned from Seasoned Parents and Parenting Experts - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

What if we could ask seasoned parents and parenting experts to share, in hindsight, what if anything, they would do differently given the chance to raise their children again? In reflective moments, everyone - especially parents - plays that "woulda, coulda, shoulda" game. What we need, perhaps as parents, is not so much advice as perspective: The long view provided by parents who have gone through it before and are able to look back at their parenting highs and lows through the lens of experience. If they could do it over, what would they do over or differently? What would stay the same? The reflections in this book are from the heart; real parents, real stories. Rather than practical "tools" you will discover genuine snippets of wisdom. A number of renown parenting experts and authors bravely shed their cloak of expertise and opened up their true parenting selves for this book. These include Dr. Andrew Solomon (Far From the Tree); Reverend Ed Bacon (8 Habits of Love): Dr. Shefali Tsabary (The Conscious Parent); Elizabeth Lesser (Broken Open); Dr. Mike Bradley (When Things Get Crazy With Your Teen and more. Hindsight is given not just from "experts" but also from divorced parents, parents of children with learning difficulties, adoptive parents, parents of twins, single parents, LBGTQ parents and dads. Dana Buchman, author of "A Special Education; One Family's Journey Through the Maze of Learning Difficulties" writes about A Gift of Hindsight: "A Gift of Hindsight takes parents on a vivid journey into the hearts and minds of parents and renowned parenting experts. I wish I had this book when I was raising my daughters." Dr. Mike Bradley, author of numerous books on parenting including his latest, "Crazy Stressed: Saving Today's Overwhelmed Teens With Love, Laughter and the Science of Resilience," writes: "You'll never hear more child raising wisdom than when shrinks reflect on their own parenting successes and regrets. If you ever wondered what the experts confide in each other late at night, here it is."
