- understand what limits are and how to set them jointly with our children
- learn how to establish consequences, and determine when and how to enforce them
- define our own personal limits and be good role models for our children
- use family meetings and contracts
Handling Anger is one of three DVDs within The Real Life Parenting Skills Program.
Trust is the foundation of a supportive family life. Cliets in recovery learn what it takes to earn the trust of family members.
