A practical guide to connect with children's deepest natures
Therapist, parent, and visionary, Dr. Dawn Menken introduces a cutting-edge approach to the joy and wonders of the world of parenting.
Loaded with practical tips, inspiring examples, and her own intimate stories, Raising Parents, Raising Kids goes beyond the conventional "how to" book, using principles of process-oriented psychology to navigate the complex waters of:
  • conflict
  • power dynamics
  • diversity
  • social challenges
  • bullying

  • This guide is for any parent, caretaker, or educator who wants to nurture children's emotional, spiritual, and social lives. We can create more meaningful relationships with children by supporting their deepest natures.
    Using groundbreaking insights and techniques to tackle difficult problems like bullying, this book addresses typical challenges of the parenting relationship, parents' own personal growth, and the call to parent not only our children, but also the planet, and ultimately, ourselves.

        In this useful handbook, Menken, a conflict-resolution educator and mother, tackles the principles of conflict resolution in child rearing, encouraging parents to develop empathy in kids and foster a sense of self-determination even in the youngest children. Menken also describes effective ways of speaking with her young son about things like mortality, while respecting his unique viewpoint and learning from him, instead of just teaching him. Menken clearly has a great deal of experience with children, and it shows here. She deftly and succinctly explores how parenting techniques affect adult relationships as well as relationships with children. Menken proves herself a gifted writer and parents will find much value in her take on child rearing.
