[quote=Anonymous]One of the best books I read on this was John Gottman's The Heart of Parenting: Raising an Emotionally Intelligent Child. It's got an extensive self-evaluation on your own emotional style of relating that help you make links with how you are raised and develop a new pattern. I also like things like No Drama Discipline and How to Talk so Little Kids Will Listen for how to give empathetic yet firm guidance to your children. But the Gottman book is great for becoming aware of the messages you send your kids about their feelings. I admire you for wanting to break the cycle -- that's not easy, but you sound like you're already so much more aware than your parents were.[/quote]
