Publisher's Synopsis
Parents who were born in the last century face challenges that our parents and grandparents did not. Being a parent in the 21st century requires more than the intention to be a good parent. It requires parents to be trained in a multiplicity of subjects that previous generations of parents did not need. Today we do not see the horizon of how far technology, information and communications can go. What we do know is that we must learn and adapt every day and it is possible to go before our children in order to protect them, because dangers do not come one by one, they crowd at the door of our lives all together. From the impatience of new parents, through poor diet, addiction to television and video games, violence, sexual abuse, friendships that teach them bad things, disobedience, destructive music, pornography, schoolmates parties, inappropriate clothing that becomes fashionable, tattoos, cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, promiscuity, unwanted pregnancy and even dropping out of school are some of the giants that they wait in this challenge of being parents. Tomorrow they could be more. That is why I invite you to read this book in its entirety, and although you may not yet face some of these challenges, be prepared to face them.In this book the author presents each of the topics with examples from his experience as a family counselor. Life stories that will change the way we see parenting forever. Each chapter has a section where tools are provided so that parents can put what they have learned into practice.
