## Description

Dr. Brené Brown's Ten Guideposts to Wholehearted Families We all know that perfect parenting does not exist, yet we still struggle with the social expectations that teach us that being imperfect is synonymous with being inadequate. These messages are powerful and we end up spending precious time and energy managing perception and the carefully edited versions of the families we show to the world. On The Gifts of Imperfect Parenting , Dr. Brené Brown invites us on a journey to transform the lives of parents and children alike. Drawing on her 12 years of research on vulnerability, courage, worthiness, and shame, she presents 10 guideposts to creating what she describes as "wholehearted" families where each of us can continually learn and grow as we reach our full potential, including: Cultivating worthiness in families―the knowledge that we are each always worthy of love and belonging • Vulnerability―the key to true connection • Engaging in creativity and play as a family • Practicing gratitude and joy in the home • Respect and hard work in a culture of "fun, fast, and easy" "It's actually our ability to embrace imperfection that will help us teach our children to have the courage to be authentic, the compassion to love themselves and others, and the sense of connection that gives true purpose and meaning to life," states Dr. Brown. The Gifts of Imperfect Parenting is a practical and hopeful program for raising children who know that they are worthy of love, belonging, and joy. Course objectives: Discuss how to cultivate worthiness in families-the knowledge that we are each always worthy of love and belonging • Explain how to engage in creativity and play as a family • Discuss how to cultivate a practice of gratitude and joy in the home • Explain the value of respect and hard work within a culture of "fun, fast, and easy" • Discuss how to embrace imperfection as a parent and how to teach our children to have the courage to be authentic and compassionate

Review: I would recommend this book to any parent! - This book is like having a conversation with your best friend about parenting and relating to her/him completely! This book is NOT a "how to" book and doesn't preach any methods or try to sell a new parenting fad. Brene talks about a handful of subjects associated with raising children and then draws on her personal experiences and scientific research to teach how we can recognize and respond to the emotional development and needs of our children. She is amazing because she shares her and her family's personal stories that any parent can relate to; the book never feels as though she is talking down or telling you how to be a 'better' parent. Brene has a unique and rare ability to teach a reader/listener tools by sharing her experiences and subsequent analysis of her own parenting experiences. I preordered this book and it was well worth the wait! I've now recommended this 'book' to all of my friends. I'm a little bias, as a I am a huge Brene Brown fan. The format of this book is in 'sessions' which really helps to conceptualize each of the topics. I chose the audio book format so that I could listen to it with my husband. Listening together had benefits I never considered, as we were able to listen to it together (in the car) and pause the book to make comments and have discussions at the end of each segment while things were fresh in our minds. Brene is the narrator (many people complain when there are others narrator her other books), she is very easy to listen to.
Review: Best parenting resource EVER! - This is truly the best parenting book I have EVER read (or listened to). Hands down. I've listened to it twice, and plan to revisit it again; it was life-changing. I have consumed many parenting books, and this one really hits home, dealing with underlying issues that most other books ignore (the importance of self-worth (how parents model this), the difference between guilt and shame and learning how to make connections). The recording is spoken by Brene Brown herself (not an annoying narrator). It is easy and very engaging to listen to. I wish she read all of her audio books. If you have read other books by Brene Brown, there is some redundancy of information, but this one clearly applies her ideas to parenting in a new way. It is worth listening to; I highly, highly recommend this.

*by A***R on December 3, 2014*

GREAT lessons. It has helped me remember nothing is perfect in parenting (or life) and to enjoy even the most embarrassing situations. Like when my 18 month old, who's obsessed with tags, wants to carry my huge thong underwear around while she holds the tag and sucks her thumb. I wasn't in the mood to fight over handing over my thong one day, so let her carry them into the car (planning to take away before entering a business). As I am getting her out of car, she is holding my HUGE thong underwear, sucking her thumb, when up pulls someone who is highly entangled in a litigious situation with my work (and I am very involved). The person just gawked at my kid holding some thong underwear. That's what I call imperfect parenting. I own it.
