Family Values: Reset Trust, Boundaries, and Connection with Your Child

An essential modern parenting guide for restoring trust and security to your home life from renowned psychiatrist and Dr. Phil Show regular, Dr. Charles Sophy.

Over the last twenty years, Dr. Charles Sophy has been a staple on The Dr. Phil Show, where he has guided and coached millions of people begging for assistance with parenting their children. From conflict resolution to substance dependence, Dr. Sophy is the one with the answers.

Now, in Family Values, Dr. Sophy has written a guide to rebuilding parent/child relationships to be stronger than ever. Structured around four essential strengths of relationship--trust, shared beliefs, family history, and forgiveness--this book will hit on the hot topics that Dr. Sophy gets asked most frequently for help on, including:
-Dealing with power shifts/struggles
-Defensive vs. offensive parenting styles
-Building/rebuilding your parenting foundation
-Eliminating the intergenerational cycle of parental neglect and abuse

With compassion and clarity, Dr. Sophy shows how to break free of generational wounds and learn how to create safety, stability, and permanence for your children.
