About this item
In Unlocking Parental Intelligence, long-experienced psychoanalyst, Laurie Hollman, PhD, encourages parents to find the significance behind their child s behaviors by becoming meaning-makers. Parental Intelligence is explained through compelling and empathic story-telling that answers parents questions: Why do children do what they do? What s on their minds? How can parents know their child s inner world? Through a clear five-step approach, parents discover the power and wisdom of a new parenting mindset that helps them learn what their kids think, want, intend and feel. They see actions as communications. They are rewarded with open parent-child dialogue about the underlying problems hidden beneath the behaviors. As they problem solve, parents discover misbehaviors are not only meaningful, but a catalyst to change.
