5.0 out of 5 stars Finding the Inner Parent, January 28, 2005

By 

Charles Wintner "Chuck Wintner, School Psych" (Agoura, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: The SELF-PARENTING PROGRAM (You Can Become Your Own Loving Parent) (Paperback)

Dr. Pollard wrote this book primarily to help people become reacquainted with their inner child, understand their child's needs, and to have that inner child engage in active dialogue with the inner parent. I first was recommnded this book by a therapist in 1987, and it helped greatly. I also met Dr. Pollard during that time, whose office happened to be across the hall from mine in Malibu, CA.

Now, however, I am a school psychologist, dealing with many kids in trouble, often because of a lack of parenting, either through divorce, death, abandonment, or simply a decision made by a woman to have a child with no father. I now utilize this excellent book in therapy to help kids find their inner parent, which many of them have internalized despite a lack of decent role modeling. The exercises in this book are at least equally helpful for kids needing to find their inner parent as it is for parents needing to find their inner child. This great book becomes more and more relevant as time goes on. Dr. Pollard, you have given this world a great legacy with this timeless book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Where I Found My Happy Childhood., August 18, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Self-Parenting Program: Core Guidelines for the Self-Parenting Practitioner (Paperback)

This book contains the practical, daily tips that enable an individual to correct the inadequate or abusive parenting that he or she may have received as a child. The focus is on meeting needs that one carries into adulthood and not blaming parents for unhappiness or ineffectiveness. Exercises are very doable and effective.

5.0 out of 5 stars Self-Parenting; A How To: Book, August 27, 2005

By 

Jim L. Wright (Juneau, Alaska) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: The SELF-PARENTING PROGRAM (You Can Become Your Own Loving Parent) (Paperback)

I really do appreciate the program that Dr. Pollard has put together with his books. This is the second book detailing some of the finer points for practicing daily sessions that he outlines in his first book "Self-Parenting: The complete Guide To Your Inner Conversations" which I would suggest reading first. These are "How To Actually Do It" books. Other Inner Child books discuss the assets of developing a relationship with your Inner Child but discuss little in the way of an actual program you can put to work every day. This is a very practical approach on how to actually develop a relationship with your Inner Child through daily exercizes.
