Synopsis
Do you feel that your family is not
what it used to be, or what it has the potential to be? Do you worry that the
parenting decisions you're making today may be scarring your child for life? Do
you sometimes feel you are in a tug-of-war with the world over who will shape
your child's values and beliefs?
With Family First: Your Step-by-Step Plan for Creating a Phenomenal Family, Dr.
Phil offers a new classic on family life -- and gives parents real answers and a
plan for being the most positive and effective parents possible. Starting right
now, you can begin to make realistic choices and take day-to-day actions that
can make your family phenomenal. You must decide that you will lead your family
with strength and love and that peace and joy are not just for the people next
door or on TV. They're for your family.
In Family First, Dr. Phil gives it to parents straight: even in this fast-paced
world your family should be the center of your life and your child's life.
Parenting is the most important and noble act you will ever undertake, yet
American families are threatened like never before from the inside as well as
the outside -- many of us fight too much, don't get involved enough in our
children's lives, or get bogged down in life's daily struggles instead of
keeping our eye on the big picture of our family's well-being.
Dr. Phil has been working with families for over twenty-five years to help them
repair the fissures that have fractured their home lives. In Family First, he
provides a proven action plan to help parents determine the strengths and
weaknesses of their parenting style. His 7 Tools for Purposeful Parenting cover
the most important elements for any parent: parenting for success -- for the
purpose of raising cooperative, caring, and competent children. Exercises,
scripts, assessments, solutions for specific problems, and precise directions
for implementing the steps you need to take are all included in this landmark
work.
Dr. Phil shows parents how to make changes now -- how to put a stop to your
children's tantrums; talk to them about peer pressure or self-esteem; instill
values like integrity, honesty, and respect for other people; and bring order
back to your house. If you want your child to have a happy, fulfilled life, you
must open your eyes to the crucial role you play in his or her development.
Most important, Dr. Phil's new book offers you and your family hope -- for a
phenomenal home life now, and a productive, fulfilling future for your children.
As Dr. Phil says, you are not just raising children, you are also raising
adults, and everything you do today impacts what kind of adult your child will
become. You are building the future.
