Parents Who Love Too Much: How Good Parents Can Learn to Love More Wisely and Develop Children of Character
Can Parents Really Love Too Much? "I love my child, and he knows it. So why is he disrespectful to me?" Raising a child in today's world isn't easy. Parents are so pressured by work and other responsibilities that feelings of guilt overwhelm them, and in an effort to show their deep and abiding love for their children, they overcompensate. As a result, their children demand more and respect them less. Does this sound familiar? In this groundbreaking book, Jane Nelsen and Cheryl Erwin show you how to change the relationship with your child from one of guilt and manipulation to one of honesty and cooperation.

This book will help you apply your love more intelligently and beneficially." --Richard Eyre, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Teaching Your Children Values
