“It is one of those simple but beautiful paradoxes of life: When a person feels that he is truly accepted by another, as he is, then he is freed to move from there and to begin to think about how he wants to change, how we wants to grow, how he can become different, how he might become more of what he is capable of being.” ThinkingWantFeelsPersonsDifferentMightBeautifulMovingGrowsSimpleCapableAcceptedParadox Author:Thomas Gordon
“Most parents hate to experience conflict, are deeply troubled when it occurs, and are quite confused about how to handle it constructively. Actually, it would be a rare relationship if over a period of time one person's needs did not conflict with the other's. When any two people (or groups) coexist, conflict is bound to occur just because people are different, think differently, have different needs and wants that sometimes do not match.” PeopleIfsThinkingWantNeedsPersonsTwoDifferentSometimesWould BeHateParentGroupsPeriodsConflictBoundsHandleConfusedCoexistNeeds And Wants Book:Parent effectiveness training: the no-lose program for raising responsible children Source: Parent effectiveness training: the no-lose program for raising responsible children
