For every parent who has gone the extra mile and made every possible attempt at doing the best they can in the raising of their children -- there is a special book that can add a new flavor to their efforts. Here are 365 fantastic readings ("meditations") that can be reading in two or three minutes and put to work immediately. The readings cover topics and issues parents of children from elementary through high school face each and every day: fear, cheating, respect, jealousy, pride, faith, temptation, guilt, sex, sharing, self-confidence, embarrassment, crisis, and anger (to name only a few). The author, a respected expert on dysfunctional family relationships and the special needs of children, is packed with practical solutions to everyday problems every family faces. A basis theme appears throughout the book: committed parents putting the recommendations to work will help their children in handling future situations and grow as parents. There is also a respect for God found throughout the pages of the book -- a reference that the author isn't shy about promoting. Committed parents don't need lecturing and this book will reveal its message through highly effective meditations that will stand the test of time.

Daily Food for a Parent's Soul!,
By Angie Bailey (Golden Valley, MN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Raising Children One Day at a Time : A Daily Survival Guide for Committed Parents (365 Meditations) (Paperback)
As a busy parent, embracing a business, family and a personal life, I have grown to cherish the daily grounding I receive from "Raising Children One Day at a Time." The affirming language and thought-provoking topics leave me with opportunities to examine my relationship with my children and even the beliefs I've developed from my own parents. I often struggle with the time to sit down and become inspired by a book. The meditation-a-day style in which this book is written allows me to explore topics like forgiveness, compassion and honesty in one page. It then leaves me with an affirmation related to the topic. This affirmation usually sticks with me throughout the day. In the spirit of how I've discovered most things work, I usually absorb the perfect message that I'll access later in the day, usually in the middle of a challenging situation. I realize that there is no perfect parenting style and there are no perfect parents. What I do know is that we can each focus our efforts on the gift we have as adults and the treasure we hold in reaching the essence of our children. It's not about pacifying them with material objects, it's about our everyday validation of their feelings and individuality that helps them succeed as well-balanced adults. In a world that sometimes feels incredibly imbalanced, it's more important than ever to uphold this belief. As a parent and a parent educator, I recommend Thomas Wright's book as a daily reminder of the possibilities to nurture our children's spirits and meet them where we are all one - in our hearts.
