In their new book The Happy Family, NY Times #1 bestselling authors Linda and Richard Eyre argue that the social problems that are ravishing America--family breakups, escalating substance abuse, teen pregnancy--are the unfortunate result of hearts and minds turned away from the essentials of parenting, marriage and families. In this landmark work, the Eyres help parents to understand what is happening to their families and why parenting is so difficult today.
The eyres present powerful, practical parenting practices, including how to:
* Make a conscious recommitment to return your heart to the priority of marriage and family
* Teach understanding and discretionary use of the culture at large
* Reinvent time management with an emphasis on family
* Make communication your constant goal
* Create identity, security and motivation for children through family traditions and responsibilities
* Use "values therapy" in which the focus shifts away from wrong to the rewards and fulfillment of right.

About the Author:
Linda and Richard Eyre are the co-authors of seven bestselling books and were the co-hosts of the national weekly cable television show "Families are Forever." They live with their family in Salt Lake City, UT and McLean, VA, and lecture throughout the world on family, balance and values.
From Publishers Weekly:
In The Happy Family: Restoring the 11 Essential Elements That Make Families Work, prolific parenting authors Linda and Richard Eyre (How to Talk to Your Child About Sex) argue that parenting is harder than it's ever been: "In America today, more teenage boys go to jail than join the Boy Scouts." The Eyres, whose Teaching Your Children Values reached #1 on the New York Times bestseller list, maintain a moralistic tone and conservative agenda (smaller government, less media saturation) throughout, making impassioned arguments for renewing commitment to the priorities of marriage and family, and the importance of religion-based principles and -values to family life.
