Description:This book, by an expert in development, is an eye-opener on modern parenting in a world of consumerism and social media. "A child needs to be accepted for who she is, not what she should be. We all dream about who our child should be, it is a way to help overcome the fear of not being enough, or just to live by proxy a life the parents couldn't manage. Nourishing dreams for your child is one thing, imposing them into the perfect child is creating conditions to their existence. When love is conditional, the self-image is conditional too.""Children don't need consumers as parents, looking up at superficial standards to fill an empty sense of self. What children need is their everyday, average, existence to be recognized. They want their parents marveling at them when they stumble, fail, and fall, laugh, scream, hit. It is not beauty that should be praised, but ugliness, mess, raw existence, trivia."Parents are overwhelmed with children not listening, not sleeping, or showing defiant or problematic behavior. Parenting feels like a struggle or a duty because of the many pressures parents feel or put on themselves.. Sara Bigwood wants to help parents regain balance and reconnect with the natural dynamics of families. She provides three keys to re-create harmony: 1. LEAD: When parents contain and guide the bursting power of children, their potential can flow; they can grow naturally to become autonomous, balanced, and creative human beings. 2. ATTACH: The quality of the bond children form influences social and emotional wellbeing and children’s success later in life. 3. WONDER: The ability to marvel at your children, and to see yourself as beautiful helps grow self-esteem; it infuses harmony in family relationships.By reading this book, you will learn about the impact of consumerism on children, and you will find ways to raise human beings.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
