THE REAL PURPOSE OF PARENTING is a series of stories and life lessons from the world of a therapist, known as The Parent Coach. Very well-intentioned, well meaning parents are at the point of crisis with their kids because their own best parenting efforts are NOT producing the children they want them to be. And there, according to Dr. Phil Dembo, lies the problem. In THE REAL PURPOSE OF PARENTING, even the best parents are capable of smothering the growth of their kid’s life. This can happen because the truth of who the child is, and what the child truly needs is oft?en overlooked or ignored in the agenda that many parents lay out for their kids. Thus . . . often landing the family in a colossal melt down. Dr. Dembo shows simple family “turn around” strategies that reframe the real purpose of parenting and gives each family, and child their own salvation.
