This book shows parents how to gently weave spirituality into family life, a dimension usually neglected in parenting books, which will profoundly affect your child's heart and soul, and entire approach to life.
Whether you want to mention God to your child, or another word or phrase you feel more comfortable with - or simply that life is full of potential and purpose, and that it is possible to make your dreams come true, 'Parenting With Spirit' sets out principles to share with your child.
These include:
- A realisation of how truly precious we are
- An appreciation of the wonder of life in all its majesty and mystery
- A deep sense that there is a unity to all things, and that we are all connected to each other and the Earth
- An understanding of the power of love in our lives
- The ability to use the imagination, playfulness and creativity as a gateway to the spiritual
These can be used as foundations by parents of all the major faiths, and those who prefer a less established path. Jane Bartlett also suggests strategies to incorporate these into the time-pressured, hands-on, demanding, and often chaotic process of parenting, showing how to bring some magic into family life.
