IF THE CHILDREN ARE OUR FUTURE, HERE IS THEIR ROAD MAP

For twenty years psychotherapist, author, and lecturer Sally Sacks M.Ed., LMHC has been teaching her clients the art of thinking productively to promote mental health. Now Sally unveils her new book, “How To Raise The Next President”, which targets an entire generation of children by first “re-teaching” their parents.

This groundbreaking new book teaches parents how to understand their past experiences as a child, to in turn see why they parent the way they do.

If people have been parented in ways that may have hindered their emotional development, they may be less sensitive to their child’s needs emotionally. Readers of “ How To Raise The Next President “, will learn to change inner movies that did not sponsor emotional growth, and parent more effectively. Parents learn in this book how everything they do and say affects our children and what to do and say to grow a happier, more self-confident child.

Explains the author, “If we learn to think differently and control our thinking, we change our personal world and the world at large changes with us because we create a more emotionally aware and educated group of people running our world.”

Too many parents are not aware of emotions and how our parenting affects our children. Words and actions grow a child like sunlight and water grow flowers in a garden. ”How to Raise The Next President”, is written in an easy to understand way and demonstrates hands-on techniques through real life examples. The author’s experience comes from 20 years of counseling all sorts of people trying to change their thinking from results of their own upbringing.

Says the author of her inspiration; “I was inspired to write this book by the many children with whom I am in contact every day as a mother and as a professional therapist. I have worked for years with adults who want to know how to be more nurturing, emotionally-aware parents, and how to deal with their own world of feelings and emotions. Inevitably, the work I do with adults to help them become more aware, nurturing parents, takes them back to their own childhood, and the ways in which they were raised.”

Born in Springfield, Massachusetts, author Sally Sacks earned her Masters Degree in Education/Psychology. She is currently a psychotherapist with over 20 years of counseling experience. The primary focus of her practice is the art of thinking productively to promote mental health. She currently works with individuals, couples, and families to restructure non-productive belief systems and thoughts.
