Good and Angry:
Exchanging Frustration for
Character in You and Your Kids
by Dr. Scott Turansky, D. Min.
and Joanne Miller, RN, BSN
"Parents often respond to their kids with anger and then feel
guilty. We want to give you a plan to deal with the current problems in
your kids that will actually build lasting character in them." Dr. Scott Turansky and Joanne Miller, RN, BSN (authors)
Parents often feel angry when their children do the wrong
things. But responding to children in anger rarely brings about the
desired result and can even have a damaging effect instead. Anger doesn’t
have to be the enemy. It can be a flag that makes you an even better
parent. Dr. Scott Turansky and Joanne Miller show you how to use your
frustration to identify problems and then move into one of the seven
routines to build character in your children.
