Product Description |
|
William C. Martin has freshly reinterpreted the Tao Te Ching to speak directly and clearly to the most difficult of modern tasks -- parenting. With its combination of free verse and judicious advice, The Parent's Tao Te Ching addresses the great themes that permeate the Tao and that support loving parent- child relationships: responding without judgment, emulating natural processes, and balancing between doing and being. |

Parent's Tao Te Ching |
|
Much wisdom for all parents. I revisit this book periodically as a parent of adult children and a grandparent. |

Wonderful parenting resource! |
|
In the midst of wrestling with the middle school years, I was looking for a parenting philosophy/approach that came from the heart and which was different from the command/control version I grew up with. This book is excellent if you're open to taking a new approach to interacting with your child and seeking a heart or spirit driven connection. |

A gentle reminder of our job as parents |
I love this book and have started giving it as a gift to new parents. We get so caught up in our modern, busy lives and sometimes our children pay the price for that. This book is filled with wise words and insight that will help a parent, who may be questioning how to raise a child in this challenging world, see clearly and do what is right for their child.
Your child's journey is theirs to experience, whether you like the direction of their journey or not. The Tao will help you put into perspective what really matters in the relationship between parent & child. I keep this book by my bed and read it when I am need of some inspiration (translation - OFTEN!) |
