A Child’s Way

A Child’s Way: Slowing Down for Goodness Sake

This lovely little book helps restore the inherent forces of parenting, showing that presence to our children from the interior of heart space is more effective than all of child psychology has to offer.

This mother-daughter author team restores courage, wisdom, humor, and intuition to anyone intimately connected with children. The key is attention to the sense of rhythm in the life of a child and coming into harmony and resonance with the natural rhythms with which most adults have lost touch.

In profoundly simple language, filled with wisdom, the book redefines being with children as a spiritual path of awareness. The stories and pictures, from the mother and daughter, who is now a mother, give hope and courage for the future of our children.
