Parent Yourself Again - Yong Kang Chan

From young, we try to impress our parents and make them happy. We behave ourselves and stay out of trouble. We study and work hard to make our parents proud.

We did everything we can to please our parents but yet it's never enough. They still treat us the same.

Children long for their parents love. They want to be loved and accepted for who they are. But wait a minute... we are adults now. We are no longer children. Why are we still craving for our parents' approval?

No matter how old you are, whenever you are with parents, you automatically become a kid again and your parents will play their roles. Your relationship with your parents often stays the same.

Since you can't change your parents, the only way to improve your relationship with your parents is to change yourself.

If you are constantly longing for love from someone else such as your parents, partner, or friends, you might want to revisit your childhood.

As children, we didn't receive the love we desire from our parents. So we are still seeking someone to fulfill this void in us.

The truth is we have the capacity to love ourselves. We don't have to wait for someone else to give us the affirmations and validations we need. Changing your parents or hoping they will treat you differently will only leave you disappointed, frustrated, and hurt.

The purpose of this book is to help you learn how to love yourself and be your own parent. What your parents failed to do for you in the past, you can do it for yourself now.

In this book, you'll learn:

• The dynamics of a parent-child relationship

• How your childhood might have affected your adult life

• Why is it difficult to change your parents

• How to grow your inner parent

• How to heal your inner child and take care of its needs

• The different protective mechanisms you have adopted subconsciously that prevent you from loving yourself

Parent Yourself Again is a simple book for self-reflection and self-exploration. If you want a better relationship with yourself and your parents, read this book.
