Parenting isn't rocket science, it's just brain surgery. And Dr. Joshua Straub has good news for you: You can do it! You don’t need to do all the “right” things as a parent. Both science and the Bible show us that the most important thing we can provide for our kids is a place of emotional safety. In other words, the posture from which we parent matters infinitely more than the techniques of parenting. Emotional safety—more than any other factor—is scientifically linked to raising kids who live, love, and lead well. Learn how to use emotional safety as a foundation from which you parent—and make a cultural impact that could change the world! In Safe House, Dr. Straub draws from his extensive research and personal experience to help you: - Foster healthy identity and social development in children of any age - Win the war without getting overwhelmed in the daily battles - Discipline in a way that builds relationship - Understand how the culture is affecting your child and what you can do about it - Cultivate responsible, self-regulating behavior in your kids - Establish an unshakeable sense of faith, morality, and values in your home - Feel more confident and peaceful as a parent - Find a greater perspective on parenting than what you might see on a daily basis Also includes a Safe House Parenting Assessment.

ISBN: 9781594717185

Internationally known marriage and family expert Greg Popcak draws on more than twenty years as a counselor as well as his own experience as a father to show how the Beatitudes can be viewed as a practical guide to understanding the love of God and applying that love to being a better father. In the first book to uniquely focus on the Beatitudes and fatherhood, Greg Popcak helps you stop focusing on yourself and instead focus on God, learning how to be the father God wants you to be by becoming a servant leader in your home. As a father of three children, Popcak realized that Jesus' call to be humble in the first Beatitude--Blessed are the poor in spirit--stands in direct opposition to what modern men learn growing up. Instead, they are taught they should live a life of unbroken success, defined by promotions at work and beautiful wives and honor students at home. The Catholic author, speaker, counselor, and radio host will show that when you practice meekness, you will connect with your family by asking them questions and listening closely to their responses. By practicing mercy, you come to know your own sins, the difficulties that lie on the path to sainthood, and how your family needs to hear about God's grace in their lives. In BeDADitudes, you discover the profound love of God found in the Beatitudes and understand how that love can transform you into being an awesome dad.

Obesity, anxiety, cheating, anger, bipolar disease, schizophrenia etc. could show up as a disease on surface, they mean nothing else except there is something wrong in one’s mind. As to what is wrong, it is really hard for ordinary people to know as often the problem is lurking in subconscious mind, which is beyond one’s recognition. Human as a species has existed for quite a long and long time, and established various mechanisms to cope with major disasters and conflicts. When one is facing powerful disaster and could not do anything about it, the problem would fade into subconscious mind of the person as it is a survival mechanism for the individual and the species, otherwise, the person involved could not survive the disaster. Unawareness does not mean the problem is gone, and it would not affect the life and work of the individual. When condition is right, the unsolved problem or conflict would show up as various illnesses. At that point psychological counseling comes to play a significant role as at the moment we still lack of basic understanding of mind and its working mechanism, though medicine has already made quite a progress. Through psychological counseling, the potential problem could be found, the unreleased anger or fear or stress could be released, thus the person could walk on a road of recovery. Traditional psychological counseling based on communication between the client and the counselor, in this book, a new method with a name of Image Arrangement is developed based on Family Constellations of Bert Hellinger, which could act as an X-ray machine of mind to uncover the potential problems in subconscious mind without reliance on group activities or small things as representatives in one’s subconscious mind. At the same time, based on their practices the authors develop 21 sets of golden sentences for curing to write and recite in one’s heart to solve twenty-one common psychological problems. Of course, there will be a huge difference in the effects under the guide of a counsellor and by oneself with the method. Thus, if possible, one should seek professional help to achieve maximal effect. Through Image Arrangement, one could give back the misaligned responsibility to the original owner and be only to himself, that is a proved way to solve many psychological problems.
