New Book Offers Christian Parents Well-Tested Strategies To Transform 'Difficult' Children Into Inspiring Leaders
Licensed Clinical Social Worker Wendy A. West Pidkaminy’s new book offers stressed-out parents tried-and-true insights and tactics based on biblical principles and Howard Glasser’s landmark Nurtured Heart Approach™
New York, NY (PRWEB) January 14, 2010
Licensed Clinical Social Worker Wendy A. West Pidkaminy has written a step-by-step primer for Christian parents whose children are difficult, oppositional, hyperactive, or significantly more challenging than the norm. The book, Parenting Challenging Children with Power, Love and Sound Mind: The Nurtured Heart Approach from a Biblical Viewpoint, is based on Howard Glasser’s Nurtured Heart Approach™, a parenting method that has been shown to dramatically increase the likelihood of transforming estranged young children and teenagers in ways that modify their behaviors and activities and inspire admirable character traits and a re-direction of their boundless energies.
Pidkaminy’s obvious dedication to helping parents and children spills from every paragraph in the 233 page book. “I’ve watched these easy-to-implement principles turn difficult children -- and their parents and less-problematic siblings, too -- into truly great contributors to society. You bet I’m passionate about diving into and sharing these miraculous human makeovers.”
Inside the book Pidkaminy carefully examines, explains and teaches Nurtured Heart Approach™ rules for raising and encouraging triumphant, ethical children – including young children and teens saddled with ADD, ADHD, ODD, anxiety, depression, trauma, and other serious physical, mental and emotional health challenges.
Pidkaminy has also written a companion children’s book, Jimmy and Julia’s Rainforest Adventure, to follow on the heels of the new release within weeks. The children’s book introduces the reader and the listener to how extraordinary life becomes when people celebrate each other’s natural gifts and abilities and share their delight as they move through life together. An engaging trip through a whimsical animal-filled jungle becomes a real eye-opener for all.
“These principles transformed my own family,” Pidkaminy asserts. “That’s why I jumped on the bandwagon as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and started teaching them as well. Now I can’t keep up with the many requests for intervention that this new wisdom has accorded me, so the only way to help everyone who needs it was to take the time to write a book. My prayer is that the information inside will do for every family what it did for mine. Life becomes so much richer in a home with family members who celebrate each other instead of just tolerating each other.”
