Preface

When trade publisher Dan Odegard called to say that Hazelden wanted a new edition of Growing Up Again, he asked if we authors had anything new we wanted to say. The answer was an immediate yes.

Connie had pursued her study of adoption and the many ways that it demands special parenting. Jean and Dr. David Bredehoft had completed their research on overindulgence, that confounding phenomenon that seems to be more and more widespread.

Recent births and the deaths of friends and relatives have pushed us to expand the Ages and Stages section of the book: astounding research about the significance of the prenatal experience needs to be considered, and the end of life, whether it arrives in later years or follows an illness during an earlier decade, are unique stages of life and need to be recognized as such.

Our colleague Jim Jump suggested the metaphor of the highway as a way of thinking about the nurturing and structuring behaviors. We have expanded that idea into a graphic representation that helps parents recognize not only daily habits of caring for themselves and others, but also intergenerational patterns of parenting that they may wish to keep or change.

The second edition of Growing Up Again includes new examples of nurture, structure, and discounting and a concise way to identify those behaviors in solving a vexing problem.

We also give direct attention to the human hungers for stimulation, recognition, and certainty and how the need to satisfy those hungers can sometimes show up in confusing ways. Recognizing the potency of the hungers can help unravel the cause of puzzling behaviors.

Growing Up Again readers have added richness to the book with their contributions. Barbara Beystrom offered the helps for handling parenting conflicts in merging families. Sandy Keiser urged us to include charts on denial and double binds and submitted prototypes. Mary Kaye Ashley responded to the request for guidelines on supporting children's spiritual growth.

So we have expanded what Gaye Hurtig calls the helpful landscape of growing up again. Here it isnew help for the all-important challenge of parenting our children and helping ourselves grow up again. Make it yours.

Connie and Jean
