Making Healthy Families

Rating:
Summary: Highly recommended, practical, informative reading.
Review: In Making Healthy Families, Gayle Peterson presents the very latest research on what contributes to healthy functional families in an easy-to-read format with questions answered from parents on her family column on ivillage.com's ParentsPlace. Peterson covers all the life stages of a family unit from becoming a couple to raising teenagers in order to enable parents to understand and effectively negotiate the normal, varied stages of the family life cycle. Of special value is a chapter on trouble-shooting tips and helps for parents who anticipate their own predictable stress points on the family life cycle. Making Healthy Families is highly recommended for parents at all stages of parenthood, marriage and family counselors, as well as students of psychology and the family unit in a multicultural, alternative life styles society.
