Our Family of Origin

Guest post by Doug Wolter

All of us grew up in less-than-perfect families. As a result, we pass on the negative emotional atmosphere of our family-of-origin in both direct and indirect ways. All this makes Christian parenting very challenging! With that in mind, my friend, Dr. Eric Johnson, provides some valuable wisdom for parents in this message entitled: How We Pass on the Emotional Atmosphere of Our Family of Origin. It was given at our SEEDS Parent Chat (Feb, 2010) and can be downloaded here.
