Présentation de l'éditeur

Dr. BrenÚ Brown's Ten Guideposts to Wholehearted Families We all know that perfect parenting does not exist, yet we still struggle with the social expectations that teach us that being imperfect is synonymous with being inadequate. These messages are powerful and we end up spending precious time and energy managing perception and the carefully edited versions of the families we show to the world. On The Gifts of Imperfect Parenting, Dr. BrenÚ Brown invites us on a journey to transform the lives of parents and children alike. Drawing on her twelve years of research on vulnerability, courage, worthiness, and shame, she presents ten guideposts to creating what she describes as 'wholehearted' families where each of us can continually learn and grow as we reach our full potential, including: Cultivating worthiness in families-the knowledge that we are each always worthy of love and belonging Vulnerability-the key to true connection Engaging in creativity and play as a family Practicing gratitude and joy in the home Respect and hard work in a culture of 'fun, fast, and easy' 'It's actually our ability to embrace imperfection that will help us teach our children to have the courage to be authentic, the compassion to love themselves and others, and the sense of connection that gives true purpose and meaning to life,' states Dr. Brown. The Gifts of Imperfect Parenting is a practical and hopeful program for raising children who know that they are worthy of love, belonging, and joy.

Présentation de l'éditeur

"We all know that perfect parenting does not exist; however, we still struggle with the social expectations that teach us that being imperfect is synonymous with being inadequate. These messages are powerful and we end up spending too much precious time and energy managing perception and creating carefully edited versions of families to show to the world. Based on 12 years of pioneering research, Dr. Brené Brown off ers a new perspective of the subject of perfect parenting. She states, ""It's actually our ability to embrace imperfection that will help us teach our children to have the courage to be authentic, the compassion to love themselves and others, and the sense of connection that gives true purpose and meaning to life."" Dr. Brown proposes that the greatest challenge of wholehearted parenting is being the adult that we want our children to grow up to be. The Gifts of Imperfect Parenting is a practical and hopeful program for raising children who know that they are worthy of love, belonging, and joy. Drawing on her research on vulnerability, courage, worthiness, and shame, Dr. Brown invites listeners on a journey to transform the lives of parents and children alike as we explore how to cultivate wholeheartedness in our families."
