Summary: Excellent reading!
Review: A very insightful book about the different stages of human development. It's written in a way that anyone who doesn't have any experience in psychology can clearly relate and understand. An eye-opener for our relationships of origin and a tool for improving the families we are creating

Summary: Growing Up Again: Parenting Ourselves, Parenting Our Childre
Review: I am a Child and Family therapist. I am also a parent who needed help learning new ways to grow as a parent. This book is the single, most influential parenting book I have ever read. I read it as a parent in its first edition. Now I'm grateful for a second edition to pass on as a recommendation to my clients.

Summary: Growing Up Again: Parenting Ourselves, Parenting Our Childre
Review: I grew up in a dysfunctional family, like most of us in this world. As a result, people are not given the necessary information needed in order to live as God intended as a whole, spiritual person. This book will help you begin to understand the gaping holes and emptiness you feel as a person. It examines parenting from both the child and the parent viewpoints, which makes it extremely easy to grasp all the concepts presented. If you are seeking answers, this book has them. Be prepared to face defiance from your family and other "unsafe" people in your lives as you challenge the myths of your childhood. I wish you much strength on your journey toward the truth. This book is so powerful and insightful in a straightforward approach that can be easily understood, that I feel it should be incorporated in a human growth and development class and required in our society. Our lives would be happier and our world would be a better place as a result. I strongly recommend it to everyone.

Summary: Wonderful - Applies to All of Us!
Review: Jean Illsley Clarke has given parents and families a real gift with this book.
Our family has benefitted so much from her insights,
that we were able to understand and apply right away.
Ms. Clark also wrote the foreword for the children's picture book
If I Ran the Family, which presents many of these same principles
for parents and kids to read together.

Summary: An indispensable quide for parents.
Review: Of all the parenting books I have ever read, and as a Parent Educator I've read many, this is the book I go back to again and again. The charts and illustrations are so clear and concise, even parents with limited time and/or education can quickly assess the need of the child and choose a solution most effective for each situation. I recommend it as a must-have!

Summary: A "Must Read" Book for anyone who wants to grow
Review: Reading Growing Up Again has given me tremendous insights into the kind of parenting I was given and how that is affecting my parenting and grandparenting. I find that I go back to the book often and re-read portions of it. As an adoptee, I especially appreciated the chapter devoted entirely to adoption. Thank you, Connie and Jean!
