Synopsis

If you have a child with borderline personality disorder (BPD), you are all-too-aware of the behavioral and emotional issues that are linked to this disorder—including rages, self-harm, sexual acting out, substance abuse, suicidal behaviors, physical and emotional attacks, and more. Traditional parenting strategies that work on other kids just don't work with a borderline child. But you shouldn't lose hope. The good news is that there are parenting strategies that do work.

With this comprehensive resource, you will learn all about borderline personality disorder, how it shows up in children, adolescents, and your adult children, how to obtain proper treatment, and how to manage your child's condition at home. You'll find proven-effective strategies to help you communicate and improve your relationship with your child of any age, and, as a result, improve your own life as a parent and an individual. You'll also find real stories and advice from parents who have also experienced raising a child with BPD.

Most importantly, you'll learn how to maintain boundaries and validate your child while also meeting your own needs. Whether your child is five or twenty-five, this book offers tools to help you and your family thrive.

Goodreads review by Amber on January 02, 2025

This book has some really good suggestions on ways to set boundaries and take care of yourself. I really liked the two acronyms for ways to respond to your child without becoming defensive. It did feel like most of this book was fluff to fill the pages, and could easily have been a blog post.......more

Goodreads review by Michelle on January 26, 2024

The first part of this book is great. I learnt a lot about the disorder and there are some great tools in the book like JADE, BIFF etc. If people are reading the book for children who are closer to the early - mid 20’s, this book isn’t as relevant except for one chapter, so probably the other eggshe......more
