Is Your Home Emotionally Unhealthy? 5 Signs: David Thomas

If your home was emotionally unhealthy, would you know it? Counselor David Thomas offers 5 ways to identify dysfunction in your own home—and constructive responses to choose instead for a lifetime of better relationships.

Research tells us that in the face of failure boys are more likely to point the finger outward and blame someone else [and] girls are more likely to blame themselves. I see evidence of that, not just with kids, but with adults. I can’t tell you how often I sit with moms in my office whose kids are struggling in some way who will say, “Tell me what I’m doing wrong.” -- David Thomas
