Summary of Lisa W. Coyne & Amy R. Murrell's The Joy of Parenting
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 When our children are most challenging, our minds begin their commentary. We evaluate our actions as parents, our choices in the moment, and the behavior of our children. We often listen to what our minds say, and this can lead to problems in how we behave toward our children and how they behave toward us. #2 The parents we work with are always ashamed or embarrassed about their feelings about or reactions to their children. They feel like they’re being judged by other parents, and they feel like they’re always failing at being good parents. #3 Your mind can be critical of other parents, and you may feel like you’re the only one who has ever had negative thoughts and feelings as a parent. But you’re not alone. This book will help you cope with your own negative thoughts and feelings as a parent. #4 Acceptance and commitment therapy is a therapeutic approach that emphasizes compassionate acknowledgment and acceptance of our own experiences, in the service of effectively pursuing those things in life that matter most to us.
The Joy of Parenting

The only problem is that parents are people, too, and are susceptible to knee-jerk reactions, anger, and fears that make perfect parenting nearly impossible.

The Joy of Parenting is a compassionate guide for parents who sometimes feel overwhelmed-that is, all parents.

A Practical Guide to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

The chapters in the book demonstrate that ACT may be a useful treat ment approach for a very wide range of clin...

Embattled Freedom
The Civil War was just days old when the first enslaved men, women, and children began fleeing their plantations to seek refuge inside the lines of the Union army as it moved deep into the heart of the Confederacy. In the years that followed, hundreds of thousands more followed in a mass exodus from slavery that would destroy the system once and for all. Drawing on an extraordinary survey of slave refugee camps throughout the country, Embattled Freedom reveals as never before the everyday experiences of these refugees from slavery as they made their way through the vast landscape of army-supervised camps that emerged during the war. Amy Murrell Taylor vividly reconstructs the human world of ...
