Why do some children grow up and then abandon the biblical values and convictions of their parents? What can parents do to prevent this all-too-common tragedy? Laura Lee Heinsohn's search for answers led to startling conclusions. Through interviews with more than 1,000 individuals about their own childhood and parenting experiences, she discovered consistenly common themes. Nearly every person who walked away from their parents' lifestyles, convictions, or values reiterated: "I needed something from my parents that they couldn't or didn't give me." In Cracking the Parenting Code, Heinsohn identified six ciritical needs of children and the six corresponding "clues" to meeting those needs and keeping the connection strong. These "top-secret" discoveries include:
- THE NEED TO TRUST AND FEEL SAFE AND SECURE
- THE NEED TO BE HEARD
- THE NEED TO BE VALUED AND TO UNDERSTAND THE VALUE
- THE NEED TO HAVE PURPOSE NOT PAMPERING
- THE NEED FOR SUPPORT
- THE NEED FOR SPECIFIC BOUNDARIES
Building trust and communication between a parent and child is foundational to keeping children grounded for a lifetime. Cracking the Parenting Code ciritical reading for all parents committed to instilling truth that holds fast through the years.
"When my first child was born, I realized there was a gap in parenting literature. I had every book imaginable about what to feed my daughter, what to teach her, and what stages of development I should be seeing. What I didn't find in the literature was any discussion about what was happening to me! Cracking the Parent Code fills the gap I waited so many years ago." - PAULA LUPO, MA, LPC
