<p><b>Dr John Sharry</b> is Principal Social Worker at the Mater Hospital and is a Director of The Brief Therapy Group in Dublin. He is the author of four self-help books for parents, including <i>Parent Power: Bringing up Responsible Children and Teenagers</i> and <i>When Parents Separate: Helping Children Cope</i>. He is also the author of three psychotherapy books: <i>Solution-focused Groupwork</i>, <i>Becoming a Solution Detective: A strengths-based Guide to Brief Therapy</i> and the forthcoming <i>Counselling Children, Adolescents and Families</i>.</p>
<b>It’s no use, he never listens to what <i>I</i> say.</b> <p>Parents are bombarded by conflicting advice. They are told they must give their children unconditional love, yet when children and young people behave badly, parents are blamed for a lack of discipline. Sometimes, parents are left feeling guilty and powerless to influence their children.</p> <p><i>Parent Power</i> shows how it <i>is</i> possible to enjoy a warm and loving relationship with your children whilst teaching them what is right and wrong. Focussing on the interaction between parent and child, John Sharry assists parents in finding alternative and satisfying ways to relate to their children in a positive way. Divided into two parts: parenting children from three to eleven years, and parenting teenagers, each part is packed full of well researched principles of parenting, ideas and tips for moving forward.</p> <p>By allowing this book to encourage you to pause and reflect about your parenting, you will discover what works for you and your own unique family situation, empowering you as a parent and improving family life.</p>
