ARE YOU A COURAGEOUS PARENT?
This is a book is for all us parents out there who feel like we are being called on to make BIG decisions for our children - those life-impacting, monumental decisions.
- It is for the parents-in-waiting, especially the first-timers who are simultaneously sure they’re going to do it better than their parents, and unsure if they can do it at all. (Yes, you can!)
- It is for the parents of toddlers who are worrying about where they put their hands that they then put in their mouths, whether they can pass something along to their adoring grandparents.
- This is for parents of young children who are weighing the lack of socialization, the effect on their long-term learning by a possible delay in schooling.
- It is for parents of elementary schoolers who know that their peers create a learning environment that encourages children to explore and get creative.
- It is for the parents whose children are in high school - where rules were always already getting broken.
- And for the parents whose child is heading off to university. An uncertain moment already fraught with emotion and discussions on preparedness, now heightened with debates on COVID-19.
- And it is for parents like me at the other end of the parenting journey, whose children are out in the wider world, already making independent decisions that we have to find the courage to live with. They balk at being called ‘children’ having stepped into their own maturity - but to us, they continue to be our babies.
I’ll love you forever
I’ll like you for always
As long as I’m living _
_My baby you’ll be”
*Love you Forever *
by Robert Munsch
It is about having the courage to provide them with that parenting assist, without interrupting their natural process of maturing.
