Many parents don't realize how much their own thoughts, rather than their children's behavior, can cause emotional upheaval, often leading to poor communication, favoritism, lowered expectations, and overly harsh punishments. Parents, however, tend not to let themselves work through these feelings.
In Liking the Child You Love, Bernstein shows how to tame the 9 toxic thought patterns. From avoiding the "Always or Never Trap" to overcoming "Emotional Overheating," the book features proven strategies for improving kids' behavior and creating a closer relationship—just by changing one's own mind.
