Parenting by Heart is an empowering book that emphasizes real-life parenting situations and practical, compassionate solutions. Filled with specific advice tried by thousands of families, this authoritative guide shows what actually works rather than what theoretically “should” work.

Dr. Ron Taffel's "The Second Family" explores the powerful influence of peer groups and pop culture on adolescents, often overshadowing parental guidance. Through real-life examples, it reveals troubling behaviors in teens while also highlighting positive aspects like peer support and emotional connections. Understanding this dynamic is crucial for parents.
Focusing on the challenges of raising children in tumultuous times, the book provides practical guidance on fostering essential traits for their well-being and success. It emphasizes the importance of mood mastery, expressiveness, and peer smarts, among others, to help children develop strong values and a spirited approach to life. By nurturing qualities like respect, gratitude, and caution, parents can empower their children to thrive and reach their full potential in today's complex world.
This rewarding guide helps men and women understand the different perspectives each brings to parenting, resolve conflicts more effectively, and discover the joys of raising kids together as a team. Dr. Ron Taffel brings his rare blend of astute insight and common sense to illuminate the gender issues that underlie typical parental battles. Engaging examples and vignettes bring to life the recurring conflicts that many Moms and Dads experience around making rules and setting limits; managing mealtimes and bedtimes; spending quality time with kids; providing emotional support and nurturance; and handling the juggling act of school, playdates, and extracurricular activities. Parents learn proven ways to redistribute responsibilities more equally; avoid undermining each other's authority; and grow closer and more accepting both as parents and partners.
Warum Männer und Frauen unterschiedlich erziehen und wie sie voneinander lernen können
Das Buch ist ein Wegweiser für Paare, die das anspruchsvolle Ziel haben, als Team zu erziehen. - Kinder spüren sofort, wenn die Eltern in Erziehungsfragen uneins sind. Sie leiden darunter, wenn sie allzu oft zum Anlaß von Streit zwischen Vater und Mutter werden. Und natürlich leidet die Ehe der Eltern. „Meinungsverschiedenheiten zwischen den Eltern sind das Hauptproblem, mit dem ich es in meiner Praxis und in meinen Workshops zu tun habe. Weil ich gesehen habe, wie stark das Leben der Familien unter Spannungen zwischen den Eltern leidet, habe ich dieses Buch geschrieben. Es soll helfen, die Konflikte zwischen Müttern und Vätern aufzulösen, und zwar sowohl die Konflikte, deren Anlaß die Kinder sind, als auch die, deren Ursprung in der Beziehung des Paares zu liegen scheint.“ (Ron Taffel in der Einleitung) Ein Buch, das alte Rollenmuster in Frage stellt und Frauen wie Männer provoziert, neu nachzudenken. Ron Taffel, Schüler von Betty Carter, ist Familientherapeut. Seit über 25 Jahren berät er am Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy in New York Eltern in Erziehungsfragen.
