Abstract:
"Children can be negatively affected emotionally by a narcissistic or borderline parent, but the other parent can do a lot to mitigate those effects by using compassion, open communication, honesty, validation, and unique problem-solving skills. The authors provide research-based insight and information that is invaluable to parents to increase their inner strength and self-confidence, so they can protect their children from adverse consequences and teach them to develop emotional insulation, courage, self-confidence, and resilience."-- Provided by publisher.
