Roots and Wings: Mindful Parenting in Recovery provides invaluable knowledge, awareness, and step-by-step guidance for more successful parenting, with special content for parents in recovery from addiction. Roots and Wings dives deep into the reality that quality parenting doesn't happen easily or by coincidence-it necessitates conscious awareness and intentional effort. Readers will find a deeper understanding of their own and their children's most important mental-emotional needs, as well as how to meet those needs. Parents will learn how to talk with their kids so they will listen and listen such that their kids will become more comfortable talking to them.

This revised edition of Roots and Wings: Mindful Parenting in Recovery presents a comprehensive yet user-friendly approach to attuned, skillful parenting grounded in the principles and practices of mindfulness and twelve-step-oriented recovery, along with elements of psychological/developmental theory, contemporary counseling approaches, and a touch of neuroscience.
