Creative Journal for Parents: A Guide to Unlocking Your Natural Parenting Wisdom

Hundreds of experts have written on parenting, but only one person knows the unique set of life experiences, hopes, dreams-and fears-that you bring to this wonderful, at times overwhelming job: YOU. In The Creative Journal for Parents, Lucia Capacchione uses her popular Creative Journaling method to help you discover your own unique parenting style. Simple but perceptive exercises like "Wanted: My Kind of Parent" and "What Parenting Means to Me" will help you explore questions like:

*What scares you about being a parent? What excites you?

*Who are the people who really nurtured you as a child? *What values matter most to you now?

*What nurturing people, places, and things might help you care for yourself?

*What is working in your parenting life? What needs changing?

*What are your boundaries and limits regarding your child's behavior? *Does the way you spend your time correspond to your real values and priorities?

Whether you are expecting a baby or adopting one, have small or teenage children, or are raising children and stepchildren in a blended family, The Creative Journal for Parents will help you realize and articulate the inner parenting resources you already abundantly possess.
