## Description

The Parallel Process: Growing Alongside Your Adolescent or Young Adult Child in Treatment [Pozatek MSW, Krissy] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. The Parallel Process: Growing Alongside Your Adolescent or Young Adult Child in Treatment

Review: Powerful lessons for parenting and beyond - This book was required reading when my child was in treatment, and it quickly became one of the most impactful books I’ve ever read. It changed how I parent all of my children and how I relate to people in every part of my life. The lesson about not helping others more than they help themselves was eye-opening. The guidance on setting household non-negotiables, expectations, and related consequences instead of reacting with extreme punishments has been transformative. It teaches accountability, calm, and intention for both parents and children.
Review: exceptional book about parenting the 'entitled' and behaviorally disfunctional child - You will not be disappointed if you read this book carefully and with an open heart. A book that will move and educate you. I am a child and adolesent psychologist/therapist with many years of experience. I have seen children into wilderness programs and saw them coming back changed and greatly improved, more mature and confident. The key is the child's distance from an entitled position in her/his family and living with and adjusting to other children, supporting and learning to rely on themselves and peers to regulate their emotions and behavior. The book is about the parents' role in creating the problem and how to work out the parenting issues, primerily but not only boundaries issues, while the child is away from home, and once she/he is back into the family fold. Written sensitively and with terrific insights, based on Ms Pozatek's first hand years of clinician's experience, in and out of a wilderness program. A very useful book for parents, not only those whose children are in treatment, It is also a guide for professionals. Sometimes, I actually buy the book to give to my clients.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ helpful for building assurance confidence and empathy
*by A***R on August 4, 2024*

This book is a great resource for those in the difficult situation of lost connection with an adolescent. It helped identify patterns not only in my teen but myself that prevented effective communication and contributed to an untenable living situation. The path is not paved with sunshine and roses but the struggle towards self awareness changes ingrained thoughts to beget a more authentic and healthy existence. Thank you for sharing your experience in this work!
