Tend Your Own Garden: How to Raise Great Kids

Nothing is more important to parents than children, right? We want our children to be healthy, happy, successful. But is that all? No, we want our kids to be good. We want them to be solid citizens, honest and fair, generous, and concerned. We want them to be people of values. This book explains how: Past experiences shape us and new experiences can help us change We build our lives by imitating and observing real heroes Our core values are communicated through gestures and rituals The most important thing parents can do is tend the garden of their own values. Tend Your Own Garden is the first of a series of books by Dr. O'Connell specifically geared to the everyday needs of ordinary families. Future books will address the challenges of making touch decisions and achieving a personal spirituality in the face of life's constant pressures.
