Description

Toxic Parents is a psychological work by Susan Forward. Parents are also human and have flaws. Ignorance is one of the biggest flaws that causes them to make mistakes in dealing with their children.

There are also children whose parents have harmed them in critical situations such as addiction and mental illness, which remain traces of their adulthood.

Toxic Parents by Susan Forward is a book that seeks to help all those who have gone through this experience face these wounds and break free from the shackles of the book with the book’s solutions.

The parental education system is a set of beliefs and behaviors. It is based on these beliefs that the degree of freedom of children and how they are controlled within the family is determined.
This educational system changes from one family to another due to the influence of the cultural context of the family.

Lifestyle, in simple terms, is a way of life based on patterns of behavior that includes worldviews, values, and habits.

The family is the first environment in which one can observe the lifestyle among its members and recognize the conflict between them.

Parenting skills as one of the most important pillars on which human health and society depend has been neglected.

The method of education is not based on correct knowledge and education, but on empirical, emotional principles or false and outdated beliefs and learnings.

These issues become more complex when the concept of parenting is so sacred in many cultures that criticizing their behavior and examining their skills is accompanied by feelings of guilt.
But parents are also human and, like all human beings, have weaknesses and shortcomings. . The sense of parenthood is somewhat instinctive and natural and is influenced by environmental conditions and upbringing and facilities.

In their childhood, they may have had uninformed, sick, or repressive parents, and as a result may have made mistakes in their parenting style.

The family is the most important and main educational institution of the society. Without parents we are empty of love, we do not feel safe and we are helpless.

We depend on parental care as children. But during puberty and adolescence, the process of independence from parents peaks.

A healthy family in such a situation tries to manage this crisis by increasing their tolerance and adopting a reasonable space for reasoning.

But toxic parents are reluctant to understand this sensitive stage.
They see all the independence-seeking behavior of their children as a rebellion and a questioning of their power.
The culture of the society also has a direct role in the way parents treat their children.

The children of these parents learn from the very childhood that their parents use their power to force them to obey.

Fear is so ingrained in this group of children that in adulthood, even with professional and social success, they have a weak identity, low self-esteem and low self-esteem, and do not enjoy their lives and successes.

This book tries to provide solutions to the children of this group of parents by examining unhealthy parenting methods.

A healthy family is a family that has a friendly relationship between its members, especially parents and children.
To achieve a healthy human relationship, there are ways that parents must have the necessary knowledge and skills to be able to establish a spiritual and intellectual connection with family members and exercise their educational role.

Parents need to be aware of the proper ways and strategies to communicate with their children.

For example, in childhood, by loving, playing, etc., one can give personality to the child and establish an effective relationship with him by creating mental and psychological security, while in adolescence, the situation is different and by creating dignity. Self, strengthening self-confidence, etc. can provide the grounds for the adolescent’s growth and perfection and provide a way to communicate with him.
