About the Book
The current generation of young adults is focusing renewed attention on the importance of raising children. This group was the first who could easily and precisely plan the timing of parenthood, but messages about families were confusing. Casualties of cultural transition, the current group of parents and would-be parents voices feeling lost when it comes to creating a well-rounded family.
The book is an appreciative tale of a good, fun filled childhood. The tone is positive and humorous, yet incorporates earnest contemplation on how very essential a good role model can be. Each chapter springs from a quote or other verbal traditions (songs and stories) with which the author's mother relayed valuable lessons. These carefully chosen words served as tools for nurturing a confident approach to life. The stories detail the memory of growing up loved. Those seeking family meaning will experience it here, and come away with concrete ideas for thoughtful parenting.
