Dr. Michael Acton
Acerca de esta escucha
The most comprehensive, easy-to-follow parenting manual ever written, packed with practical parenting advice to last a lifetime: from how to be honest with our children to how to help them with mental and physical health issues.
“Parenting guilt is real as we are bombarded with mixed messages and the latest fads. Comparisons of ‘perfect parenting’ online add to the load. It’s time we parents knew that being ‘good enough’ is better than striving for perfection.” (Michael Padraig Acton)
Michael Padraig Acton’s 30+ years of experience in psychological therapy, systemic life coaching and counselling, plus insights from leading international experts, are packed into this accessible, unmissable guide that will empower caregivers to take positive action to improve their parenting skills from a place of authenticity and honesty. Dealing with teenage behaviour, tackling loneliness, drugs and alcohol, online gaming, sex and more, Raw Facts from Real Parents explores the many challenging issues that parents encounter every day and presents workable solutions to making it through to the other side, peaceful.
Michael Padraig Acton is a parent and, for the last 15 years, a grandpa to two. Michael is also a consultant, psychological therapist, counsellor, clinical supervisor, legal consultant, systemic life coach, trained scientist practitioner and author. He is dedicated to putting an arm of care around parents' shoulders.
The power of knowledge, understanding, and support offered to parents through this book is a gift that will benefit our children and ourselves more than any other.

The world is full of people who have an innate sense that something is wrong with them - who feel they live on the outside looking in, but have no explanation for this feeling and no way to put it into words.

Gist is a powerful book that reviews and examines what the journey to adulthood entails, along with a clear look at those parenting efforts that have proven not to work over the years. Gist is a fascinating look at many aspects of life that wouldn't typically be associated with parenting. But the result is a new way to think about parenting that is effective, efficient, and enjoyable.

Raising physically, mentally, and emotionally healthy children has never been more difficult. In the past, the influences a child was exposed to were limited, directly observable and could be controlled, but with the growth of technology, the proliferation of social media and the general air of growing paranoia and divide in today's society, parenting has become a challenge with far too many ways things could go wrong...if you are not on your toes and prepared.

For many parents of troubled teenagers, a therapeutic program that takes the child from the home for a period of time offers some respite from the daily tumult of acting out, lies, and tension that has left the family under siege. However, just as the teenager is embarking on a journey of self-discovery, skill-development, and emotional maturation, so parents too need to use this time to recognize that their own patterns may have contributed to their family's downward spiral. This is The Parallel Process.
