HOW TO IMPROVE A RELATIONSHIP AND PARENTING SIMULTANEOUSLY?

by Michael Watson

How to improve a relationship and parenting simultaneously is a simple, clear, strong, self guide book to partners and parents about matters that they may not yet have thought about much, but which play a very powerful role in their lives and the lives of those they parent.The book explains with reference to a little boy how the experiences we have as children frequently have a strong influence throughout our lives, determimining how we behave as partners and parents, without us generally being aware of this influence.It tells the story of how a little boy discovered a number of things about himself, many years later in adulthood, which helped him connect up the dots and make sense of issues that had been impacting on him and others for years.He found out that as a young child he had been closest to his father, but was left devastated when his parents separated.The pain was too much for him to manage and so he blocked it out of his mind and never realised he had done so until some forty plus years later.This revelation and those associated with it, made him conscious of the role his childhood experiences had played in his life and the devastating impact it had wreaked on his intimate relationships with women.The book outlines that as children we are all given a form of programming from our parents, as a result of which we unconsciously act out what we have learnt in our day to day relationships with those most important to us.It explains why we sometimes go round and round doing the same thing, with our friends, loved ones and children, never quite realising why we are doing what we are doing.The book gives advice on the need to wake up from the experiences of our past whenever we recognise we are repeating behaviour we don't wish to continue. It stresses the need to make sense of our childhood and past behaviour, in order that we can move on productively with our lives.The guide describes very clearly in simple language the pitfalls that most people encounter when in relationships and provides invaluable advice and tips on how we can all take our responsibility and learn the skills needed to improve our relationships.As well as providing the skills and knowledge to improve the way you relate to your partner, it outlines that the same skills that you require to become a better partner are the exact same ones that are essential to improve your capability as a parent.In addition, it offers highly useful advice on how you should behave in the event that you break up with your partner and how to manage such situations so as to safeguard your children and limit antagonism..The book is full of practical.advice and tips to improve both parenting and relationships. It is really little more than common sense if you look at the issues properly, but of course most people don't.
