Eight years ago I wrote a brief review of The Whole Parent: How to be a Good Parent Even if You Didn't Have One by Debra Wesselmann. It was, and still is one of the few titles on this important topic. While the article is older, and geared towards adoptive parents, the content is still useful and this book can help any of us who are Parenting with ACEs.
Here's an excerpt:
This book is fantastic because it manages to be non-shaming about our weak spots while stressing the importance of building some core strengths. It offers a good reminder that it is parents who sometimes need to bolster our emotional strength to be the best parent we can be for our children. during their childhood.
Most refreshing is the author's focus on attachment as it pertains to adults who have been traumatized as children.
