Courageous Parents: Becoming a good anchor for your children

This book is the most general and practical presentation of NVR (non-violent resistance) for parents to date. It is a step by step manual on how parents can develop a “new authority”, based on presence, self-control, support and persistence, instead of the authority of yore that was based on distance, intimidation and force. In its chapters parents are helped to rediscover their courage and strength, develop cooperation in spite of differences, and find legitimate ways to supervise their child. They thus fulfill an anchoring function, stabilizing the child against the pull of troubling emotions and dangerous temptations. If you’re a parent counselor or a parent yourself (or both!), you can learn concrete skills for building loving limits, giving security to an anxious child, creating order out of chaos, and bringing your child to make amends for hurts inflicted on others. Counselors can learn how to talk to parents and parents how to talk to themselves, so as to build the “village” that we need to bring up a child. Together with its companion volume, “Courageous teachers: Developing a new authority to cope with violence and chaos“, the book presents a comprehensive practical presentation on how to build a positive and legitimate authority. Professor Haim Omer is a highly reputed figure in the field of parental authority. He has written a dozen books on the subject, which have been translated into 14 languages. His methods have been validated by extensive research and have led to over 100 academic articles.
