and dads sort out their concerns so they can stop worrying
about the future and enjoy their rapidly changing kids —
now.” --Thomas. W. Phelan, author, 1-2-3 Magic:
Effective Discipline for Children 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.
