In this important book  Jesper Juul argues that todays families are at an exciting crossroads. The destructive values that governed traditional hierarchical  authoritarian families are being transformed. Instead we can choose to embrace a new set of values based on the assumption that families must be built not on authoritarian force or democratic tyranny but on dignity and reciprocity between parent and child. Children are emotionally competent -- that is  they always tell the truth about how they are feeling. Parents must begin to listen to and learn from the honest feedback they receive from their children. When we feel unhappy or dissatisfied with a situation in the family  it is almost always because we were unable to convert our loving feelings into loving behavior. To do so  we need to become fluent in what Juul calls \"personal language\" -- a language less concerned with \"shoulds\" than with our own emotional honesty.  Using examples from families in many different countries  Juul has written a book that challenges parents to see the years with their children as an exciting time of growth and development for the whole family.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44968067596341,"sku":"ByrdShop_0374527903","price":59.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780374527907.jpg?v=1770645701","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/your-competent-child-toward-new-basic-values-for-the-family","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
