LoveReading Says
Develop emotional closeness within your family unit with the advice and activities in this guide. ‘Guide for Parents: The Loving Family: Developing Emotional Closeness’ by Elena Glozman is a detailed guide to family relationships covering everything from communication, how to deal with stressful situations to dividing up chores and knowing yourself. Through the in depth questions placed throughout this book, you are required to think introspectively, to see how your upbringing affected you, and how to make progress with the challenges of raising children. I liked the personal development theme throughout the book, although this book is about raising children, it includes as many self-help and relationship tips as it does parenting ones. It feels like the epitome of the paraphrased adage “it’s not you vs your family, it’s you and your family vs the problem”. The examples throughout are useful to demonstrate the topic but not overbearing. The questions and activities are in depth and really allow you to comprehend how each topic is applicable to your personal circumstances. The only slight niggle for me was the acronym of EED for Emotional Closeness Education. I would have thought ECE or ECEd would have been more accurate. However, as the acronym isn’t used very often throughout the book it didn’t detract in any way from the key takeaways. I think that this book would be a really insightful read whether you're aspiring, new or established parents.

Guide for Parents: The Loving Family: Developing Emotional Closeness Synopsis
One of the best and most important parenting books for children of all ages recommended by experts. Elena Glozman has developed EED method (Emotional Closeness Education). Recommendations for improving quality of family life, written exercises and workouts. Illustrative examples, clear applicable tips in Elena Glozman’s book will help you to create a comfortable space for all family members, where everyone can feel loved, needed, understood, listen and be heard - the space of a happy family. "A great many parents avoid admitting that they never received enough love, support and attention when they were young. They don't know themselves, are unaware of their own strong and weak points and have a hard time expressing their thoughts and emotions. Very unfortunately, in a great many families emotional closeness is lacking, and if they don't take the appropriate steps to rectify that, over time that situation will become an ongoing family story that repeats itself in every generation. This is because every person, unconsciously copies and pastes onto his loved ones – his spouse and his children – everything he experienced in his early childhood. Yet I believe that anything can be changed. In my clinic, I sometimes meet people who even in old age succeed in changing the way they perceive themselves and the way they perceive others. Their quality of life improves significantly. Those people become calmer. They learn to accept themselves as they really are – courteous or angry, irritable or friendly, with a sense of humor or impatient – and only afterwards are they able to accept and to love others. In the past I was certain that a person who longs to change himself must undergo a crisis that shakes him up, loss, or prolonged therapy. I am sorry to say that many people avoid going for psychological therapy, while the events that they have experiences are liable to have deleterious, far-reaching ramifications that make it hard for the person to cope on his own. My book provides me with a golden opportunity to transmit to you the magic of family therapy, and the positive changes that it brings, and thus to improve significantly your quality of life. All my love, Elena Glozman"
