Einstein said, "We cannot solve today's problems with yesterday's thinking," yet in the areas of child-raising and education we are still proceeding with yesterday's pattern of thought. We all feel overwhelmed from time to time by the task of parenting; this is unavoidable.You work hard to provide for your children and want to make sure they grow up strong, smart and healthy because you love them and because our future depends on them. But like many parents you are faced with conflicting information and false data, complicating your ability to make a measurable difference in raising a healthy, wholesome, think-for-yourself child in today's consumptive, polluted and inhumane world. In today's world, the air we breathe, the water we drink, food we eat, and homes we live in, the parks where we play, are all susceptible to a host of harmful substances. Although these can affect everyone, those most at risk are our children. Of course, as a parent you want to do everything you can to keep your child safe. But protecting children from harmful influences may seem like a big challenge. This book is a wake-up call and an invitation for all parents to bring awareness into their ways of educating/parenting. From homebirth to homeschooling, what to eat and how to minimize seduction of your children by the popular culture, Children’s Health will empower you to make your own choices. This book finally brings it all together for parents, starting with things to consider even before conception. Now there is hope for the future. One Child at a time, parents can change the world. "There are only two lasting bequests we can give our children... one is roots, the other wings." –Stephen Covey 292 pages. |
