Good Book!

I have a grandson who is gay, my daughter recommended this book to me so I ordered it. The book is excellent, full of helpful advice and information on how to deal with this subject. It is a touchy issue in our family but something that I needed more help in dealing with. I intend to refer to it time & time again.

Gay Children, Straight Parents: A Plan for Family Healing

This book was excellent. It not only offered clear explanations and examples it offered a plan for parents to follow in regard to healing this issue. It offers much hope. Remember it's about love and s/he who loves the longest and the strongest wins -- and this is a true statement. I see it working in my own family

I remember one of the first times our younger daughter Amber vented her anger at me for something I did. In reality, it was something I didn't do that made her mad. She had asked me to help her with a paper she was writing for a middle school class. The paper required a lot of research, and Amber didn't know how to go about doing the research. "There's nothing to it," I assured her flippantly. Then instead of showing her what she needed to do, I simply told her to get started, explaining that she would figure out how to do the research as she went along. She let out an exasperated sigh. "But Dad, I don't know how to--" "Amber, just get started," I insisted with authority, "and you'll figure it out." Then I left the room. (from the introduction) When the author understood his mistake, he was able to go and talk with his daughter. As she vented, he began to understand what a capacity parents have to make their kids angry, and how he could change his approach to communicating with his children to improve their relationship. In the years since Roger Cross has been studying the things parents do that make kids angry, such as playing favorites having loose or confusing boundaries expecting kids to fill adult roles and more. Drawing on his ministry of Youth for Christ along with a survey of one hundred students of varied ages and backgrounds, Roger Cross has created a practical, helpful book for parents who want to understand why their kids are so angry and what they need to do to change.
