Parents
A Guide to
Parenting Your Parents
by Jim
Comer
With a huge segment of the population facing the dilemma of how to
care for
an aging parent, Jim Comer has provided a timely and invaluable
resource.
Written with humor and compassion, When Roles Reverse is both a
compelling
memoir and an indispensable "how to." It answers the questions no
one wants
to face, offers support for those who fear making life-altering
decisions,
and provides essential guidance on where to find information and
assistance. One especially nice thing about the book is that it
addresses the emotional dimension of caring for parents and does a
good job of capturing what it's like to parent your parents. If you
need a crash course in parenting parents, go straight to Chapter 23:
Fifty Questions That Will Save You Time, Money, and Tears. You'll
find you haven't even thought of many of these questions and don't
know the answers to most of them.
Along the same line, another dwindling commodity is honesty
to one’s self, otherwise known as integrity. Restoring integrity
and keeping it intact deserves your undivided attention.
Marriage has become a hot
topic on the American domestic policy scene. initiatives have been spurred by changes in marriage and
childbearing during the latter part of the twentieth century and
by mounting social science evidence that these changes are not
in the best interests of children.
It's quite easy for most fathers to
look at their kids with a critical eye.
And why not? There's a lot riding on
the outcome of your kids' development.
They do make mistakes. Lots of them.
And you have a number of choices about how you respond
to those mistakes and how critical you are of your kids.
As the excitement
of school children builds to super-charged levels as
they prepare to shift gears and fly into summertime,
there has never been a better time for students to
let their entrepreneurial wings catch the wind and
soar.
