I'm happy to introduce you to a great new book, a manual of sorts. Family Talk is a practical guide to having real conversations with family members, primarily through organized family meetings. Christy's book is packed with real life experiences addressing real life problems, drawing on her own family and forty years of practice as a Family Therapist.
In fact, Familius editor, Christopher Robbins, came to her and asked her to write this book. Christy says:
"At first I felt a little overwhelmed by the task, but as I got into it, I had a wonderful time remembering all the funny things, the problems, and challenges our family and other's in my counseling practice faced as they raised their children. I could feel something greater than myself helping me write this book. So, as I got into the manuscript, I began to have a great time. It is one of the most fun writing projects I've done in a long time."
Nobody teaches you how raise children, it's primarily on the job training and by the time you've got it kind of figured out, your kids are mostly grown. This is a nonfiction book about
strengthening family relationships and increasing the love in your family. I've read it and I love it.
Praise
for Family Talk
The Family Council
Guidebook is a vital and
necessary addition to every home. In this day and age when emails, chat rooms,
and staring at computer screens are rapidly replacing real-time human
interaction, what better corrective could there be than a guidebook to how to
talk with one another in meaningful, productive and healing ways. Christy
Monson knows what she is talking about. It is a great blessing that she is
sharing it with all of us.
