Parenting Without Fear: Letting Go of Worry and Focusing on What Really Matters

The ‘perfect parenting’ expectations imposed on you by the media, society, your family, and your community can seem impossible to live up to and only make you more fearful and anxious.  Paul Donahue, Ph.D. has uncovered the six most common fears that prevent you from being the effective, loving, and successful parent you want to be:
 
-The Fear of Letting Go
-The Fear of Not Doing Enough
-The Fear of Taking Charge
-The Fear of Slowing Down
-The Fear of Unstructured Time
-The Fear of Falling Behind
 
Parenting Without Fear gives you the tools to confront your fears, rethink your goals and teach your children how to be independent, to persevere, to cooperate and respect adults, to be mindful, to imagine and explore their world, and to develop compassion for others.  Discover how to gain the confidence to trust your own judgment, and the courage to make choices about your children’s academic, social and athletic lives that reflect your family’s values and balance your needs with theirs.
