Most of us long for a more satisfying relationship with our children. Our children, in turn, want this kind of relationship with us. Without us realizing it, though, our own views and behavior can undermine exactly what we hope to achieve. We are all capable of changing even the most unpleasant situation, however, and this book explains how. We, as parents, can, and should create the most fulfilling relationship we will ever experience and make our children our best and truest friends.
