The vibrant family : a handbook for parents and professionals

Seidenfaden, Kirsten. (Added Author). Davidsen, Mette-Marie. (Added Author). Draper, Rosalind. (Added Author).

Summary: Family life! We tackle it head-on with great enthusiasm and lots of hopes and dreams that our family will be filled with love, closeness, well-being and development. However, for many of us family life, parenthood, and our children develop in ways that we never anticipated and were looking forward to. Instead of creating a secure, confident, and vibrant family, all too many of us get helplessly caught up in daily quarrels. The result is that the children do not thrive and we have no clue what to do and how to move on. The Vibrant Family offers completely new and surprising approaches to parentho.
