Dr. Frank Lawlis has spent nearly forty years counseling parents on helping their children live up to their fullest potential. As the chief content adviser for The Dr. Phil Show and the bestselling author of The ADD Answer and The IQ Answer, Dr. Lawlis has aided thousands of parents and their children. Now, in MENDING THE BROKEN BOND (Viking; On-Sale date: September 10, 2007; 304 pages; $24.95; 978-0-670-01834-5) Dr. Lawlis takes on a problem he encounters often in his work: helping parents and kids work through all of the fights, conflicts, and miscommunications in order to learn to love each other again.
Using stories and anecdotes from families he’s worked with, Dr. Lawlis presents an easy-to-follow 90-day plan to help any parent who has heard the phrases “I didn’t ask to be born!” or “You’ll never understand” coming from a son or daughter. In MENDING THE BROKEN BOND Dr. Lawlis offers comfort, hope, and a way to move forward. Some of the helpful advice Dr. Lawlis provides in his plans includes:
Cutting down on gifts and gadgets and avoiding overscheduling
Taking a daily task, such as cooking dinner, and making it a family activity
Thinking critically about medications
Learning what your facial and body expressions convey
Understanding the effects of certain foods
With the techniques that Dr. Lawlis outlines in MENDING THE BROKEN BOND, parents and children can get back on track to a more open and healthy relationship with one another. This is a book that every family can use and benefit from.
“Dr. Lawlis shows us how to put his remarkable techniques to work, offering families healing and hope—and a life they never thought possible.”
