The Journey of the Heroic Parent

Your Child's Struggle & The Road Home

De: Brad M. Reedy Ph.D.

Narrado por: Tom Parks

When a child is hurting, it can be the most painful challenge a parent will face. With compassion and perspective, Dr. Brad Reedy offers hope and wisdom for children who struggle and the parents who love them. The Journey of the Heroic Parent will take you on a journey to a happier, healthier relationship with your struggling child - and yourself. Through lessons learned, mother, father, and child will achieve greater understanding, love, and humanity - no matter what the outcome.

Every day parents face heartbreaking situations. Raising a child struggling with mental health issues, addictions, depression, suicidal thoughts, eating disorders or just the normal angst associated with growing up can be frightening and confusing.

When all you've done is not enough, when your child seems lost and you feel inept and impotent, Dr. Reedy can help you take the necessary steps to find your child, not with cursory cures or snappy solutions, but rather by effecting positive change in your own behavior.

On your journey, you will confront, reevaluate, and grow confident in your beliefs as a parent. You will learn how to lovingly and effectively communicate your intentions to your child.

Reedy's process will teach you how to find peace and security in your skills as a parent, and help you get comfortable exactly where you are. Even if you've made mistakes, even if you think you've failed, you still have the power to be a great parent.

Healthy parenting leads to a healthy life for your whole family, and The Journey of the Heroic Parent will be your guide as you walk the path to hope.

Must read

This book is such a great resource filled with wisdom for all parents and all relationships.

Who's problem is it anyway?

What a fabulous book as a follow up to Anatomy Of Pease. l don't know if l could ever listen to a more intriguing and impactful story than that of Lou's story of redemption. But The Journey of the Heroic Parent is excellent too with a similar theme and message. It too is one of those books that I will listen to again. Amazingly good.

Great book for ANY parent.

While the book focuses on parents of “troubled” children, this book should be required reading for all parents. There are so many things that were pointed out by Dr Reedy that made infinite sense…once he said them. “Yes, of course, that’s obvious” I would think to myself wondering then why I hadn’t realized the obvious before. Building a healthy relationship with your child (or anyone else) is not easy and not fast, but Dr. Reedy provides tools and different perspectives to try in improving your relationships in general.

Best parenting book!

I cannot say enough about how much I value the insight into myself and the parenting journey presented in this book! A must read and re-read!

Very useful resource

Terrific resource for anyone wanting to better themselves into a more authentic, well-listening, and loving human and parent. Highly recommend!

One of the Best parenting books we have read!

We have read so many parenting books I can’t keep track of. I thought I knew a lot before reading this book. The in-sight and skills discussed were a fresh idea. Definitely worth the read and will listen to it multiple time to perfect the skills taught.

Excellent

This book is for parents at any stage of life and is also helpful with other relationships you have. It is not just for a family dealing with addiction, although it is the main topic. There is alot of parental advice about how to let your children feel their feelings and that we don't have to fix everything for them. It was easy to listen to and kept my attention.

Every parent should read this

Amazing book with thoughtful questions, examples and advice. Brilliant in that he guides you to your own answers and principles instead of telling you an answer. An honest look at there being NO specific universal answers when it comes to parenting

Brilliant, life-changing!!

A must read for all parents, whether they have struggling children or not. So grateful for the hard questions asked and the hope given throughout this book. Not sure I would have mustered the courage to send my child to Wilderness Therapy and maintain a healthy state of mind at the same time.

Very helpful on a variety of levels.

Behavior issues, addiction issues, alternative educational settings, therapy, this book has it all. The message though is help to handle it all in the most beneficial way. When we realize what we as parents have control over- our boundaries- our kids learn to take ownership for their problems. They do the work to fix the problems instead of us as parents. That never works anyway. I am not only purchasing this book to highlight, I am starting it again from the beginning on Audible. My sister and I also plan to go through it together. Between us, our kids range in age from 18 - 28.
