In Raising an Emotionally Intelligent Child, psychology professor John Gottman explores the emotional relationship between parents and children. It’s not enough to simply reject an authoritarian model of parenting, Gottman says. A parent needs to be concerned with the quality of emotional interactions. Gottman, author of Why Marriages Succeed or Fail, and coauthor Joan Declaire focus first on the parent (a “know thyself” approach), and provide a series of exercises to assess parenting styles and emotional self-awareness. The authors identify a five-step “emotion coaching” process to help teach children how to[Read More]

Teenage boys are rarely chatter boxes like the girls. Why Boys Don’t Talk helps parents reopen communication and start talking to teenage boys in order to stay emotionally connected with them.
