    About this ebook

    An essay collection offering a guide for parents who want to put love into action so they can give their children the very best start in life.

    A parent’s calling is to raise a person. By making loving actions part of your life, you have the power to build the kind of family unit most people long for. Wonderful Ways to Love a Child is filled with true stories of parents and children who are nurturing strong and loving families. The book provides the support that empowers you to be the parent you want to be and expands your parenting skills.

    Cultivating a loving relationship with your child demands integrity, compassion, and emotional honesty. It is a forever commitment to continuous loving actions–even when you are too tired. This low-stress approach to positive parenting produces happy children with high self-esteem. This is how children succeed.

    Wonderful Ways to Love a Child is a prescription to strengthen family bonds that will last a lifetime. There are many different parenting styles. This one is based in love and logic, and positive discipline. Learn to put yourselves in your children’s shoes—and have fun in the process.

    In this book you’ll find guides to:
    • Loving yourself and allowing your child to love themselves
    • Giving the gift of your presence and being open to the miracle of transformation
    • Saying yes as often as possible, and knowing when to say no
    • Teaching that all feelings are acceptable and making room for the Crankies
    • Delighting in silliness by laughing, dancing and singing together
    • Teaching values by example
    • Other essential tools to ensure a loving, lasting friendship with your children–and make them want to come visit when they are older
