Key points: - There is something liberating about being your self... your authentic self. When one gets away from trying to live up to someone else's standard of who they should be the freedom and gift that comes from that includes creating space for your child to get in tough with their own spirit- which is a critical objective for parenthood. - "An awakened parent is one who is aware of the traditional paradigms of parenting, where the parent is seen as greater than the child, are obsolete in the modern world, producing dysfunction and disconnection in families." page 2 - An awakened parent will begin to realize that every relationship within the family is designed to help one another grow. - "Children are seen as mirrors through which they are able to see how they themselves need to mature and develop." page 2 WHAT ARE YOUR INTIAL THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS BOOK?

So point 1 is interesting... I try to be myself each and every day but I know I dont always show my true self to my children simply because I want them to be better than that. I can see that this may push me in this area. Point 2 kind of bothers me, I don't want children to see adults as better than themselves but I worry that the respect for elders which I see is already disappearing could be affected by this paradigm shift. I am interested in reading this to see how she suggests handling this area. Point 3 I try to stress at home and at school each person plays an important part on what we do and who we are. I am interested in reading this book this summer...thanks for the share.
