What is home? Is it just an address, the place you live, the
place you rush out of in the morning and return back to, exhausted,
later? Or can it be something more, something greater, the meaningful
core of our lives?
We receive challenges that hopefully lead us forward to
introspection, prayer, and self improvement, with most of them occurring
in our own homes. In fact, family living gives us one of our greatest
opportunities for personal growth, yet often we are too busy and
distracted to appreciate the benefits and potential of our family life.
In Make Yourself at Home, renowned family therapist and
best-selling author Sarah Chana Radcliffe uses her unique approach to
show how your home can be the place where the whole family can grow and
attain interpersonal harmony, inner peace, and true happiness. How can a
married couple learn to accept the intense differences that exist
between them? When should a parent step in and help her children, and
when is it right to step back? What can we do to keep our cool when
dealing with the challenges of family life? Does the perfect family
exist? If it does, what does it look like? Through authentic real-life
examples, insightful observations, and innovative solutions, you will
get on-target, comprehensive answers to these questions and more. You
will learn how to handle strong-willed children, cope with teenage
moodiness, parent your adult children, deal with in-laws, and gain a
vast variety of other invaluable tools to enhance your family life. You
will discover how to improve your marriage, understand your children,
work through turbulent emotions, and accept yourself and your family
members as you all grow into a deeper, more caring, sensitive, and
cohesive family. A refreshingly practical and inspiring work for all
Jewish parents who desire to improve themselves and their family, at
home.
