The Institute for Creative Solutions announces that ICS President  Randy Rolfe will have as her guest on Family first on Voice America Net Talk Radio, counselor and author James Krehbile. Today's research is showing that many of the troubles adults are having stem from unresolved pain from childhood. Yet some adults go on to lead satisfying productive lives after experiencing horrendous childhoods. What's the difference between the two? How can an adult recover from childhood troubles which are still affecting their approach to life? And how can today's parents spare their children from having to deal with these issues as adults? My guest this week is James Krehbiel, who is a long-time educator and professional counselor who has been helping adults to deal with many emotional issues by overcoming their troubled childhood experiences and what he calls the "magical illusion" of childhood which many people carry into adulthood. James will share with us some insights from his new book Troubled Childhood, Triumphant Life about how ineffective parenting can set us up for these challenges and how these can be overcome or prevented in the first place.
