A Working Tool for Families

I was given this book and did a quick red through... It was well set up and I got myself a Stenographer's note book and did the extercises... It was most interesting to reach into myself and find out what I was feeling towards my children (sons 38 and 35). Much of my views, hopes and dreams for them were set by me and not copied by me from those things my mother had instilled in me...It was a mind opening revelation of emotions. I felt good about most of the things I and my husband had done... when finished i sent the book and my notebook to one of my sons who had been out of touch with us since getting married several years ago. We really liked the lady he chose to marry, but for reasons known only to them they left all families... I felt this was a wonderful way to share my thoughts with them and to let them know the door is always open for them.I highly recommend this book to any parent. it's a wonderful exercise on relationships and all that went into raising the child as he/she was raised.
