reviewed on + 21 more book reviews


Patience, acceptance, honesty, letting go, gratitude, faith, humility, taking responsibility- the very foundation of Twelve Step recovery are also the keys to a strong, healthy family, as Alex Packer demonstrates in this intelligent, wonderfully practical guide to better parenting. This book covers many facets of family relationships: handling conflict, respecting the needs and feelings of others, behaving morally and responsibly, building trust and intimacy, and taking care of oneself while taking ones place in the larger world.
