Children under Construction - by Patrícia Nôleto

Being a mother or father is, without a doubt, the best and most important challenge in a human being's life. In addition to providing health and safety to children, it involves loving them, encouraging them and helping them develop resources to become children, young people and future adults capable of achieving their goals. You are not born a father or a mother. It is throughout the child's life, in this two-way interaction, that we also develop and transform. Learning to establish limits and rules, to deal with your needs, whims, desires and children's characteristics is an ongoing experience. Being a parent, no matter how competent one is, also involves dealing with failures, frustrations and fears in our children and ourselves. In a clear and didactic way, based on the latest in science and based on years of practice, psychologist Patrícia Nolêto brings in this book more than just pure theory, but a path capable of transforming the relationship between children and parents in a healthy way and lasting. An essential read for parents and professionals in the areas of health and education.
