Great Parenting

This is a wonderful book about another younger view on Parenting. Our parents raised us in a heavy handed way in the 40's and 50's. Work hard, be honest, get along, go to Church on Wed. and Sunday. This book is full of reasoning, understanding and wisdom. Eloquently written and very calming to read.
