Based on the book, How to Raise Emotionally Healthy Children, by Gerald Newmark, PhD, this interactive program teaches parents how to create an emotional connection so their child can thrive. Focusing on relational parenting, each volume features an overview of emotional needs, common parent-child conflicts, and how parents can modify their reactions to meet their child’s critical emotional needs: to feel respected, important, accepted, included, and secure. Parents will also learn skills to help reduce stress and maintain their own emotional health.

Reviews

  • Aside from this tough economy, parents are faced with many real-life stressful situations that they are finding more and more difficult to deal with… their problems are getting more complex and their children are most at risk to feel the brunt of their parents’ frustrations. There are many educational books and DVDs out there, but many are too hard for the parents to understand the ideas and techniques they need to possess in order to raise emotionally healthy children. I found the How To Raise Emotionally Healthy Children book and DVD to be just right for our parents to ensure successful outcomes in every avenue of their lives.
