Riassunto

Spiritual Parenting is a guide to the naturally intuitive and spiritual core of every child. It refutes the current notions of the basic nature of children and teenagers, while offering a radically new way to approach parenting. In the words of authors, counselors, and ministers Hugh and Gayle Prather, "This book reflects our deep personal conviction that parenting is a spiritual path, a form of worship." In their characteristically warm style, the Prathers offer a book of principles that parents can use to understand and protect their children at home, at school, and in the world. While one does not have to believe in God to understand these principles, say the Prathers, parents must approach child care as a spiritual task. They offer ways to keep this essential focus amid the bewildering complexities involved in guiding children toward adulthood.
With joy and a sense of humor, the Prathers offer stories and anecdotes about their own children and the children of families they have counseled to help today's parents break through conflicting ideas and emotions and learn to enjoy their children at all stages of their growth.
