Inhaltsangabe

YOUR CHILDREN DESERVE YOUR BEST Did you learn everything you need to know about parenting from the role models you grew up with? Are you one of the millions of parents who don t exactly identify with your religion of origin, yet want to define your own moral compass to help you make the best possible decisions as you raise your own children? 18 Master Values: Be the Parent You Wish You d Had seeks to help you do just that. The book has two major premises. The first is that once you become an adult, you have a responsibility to give yourself permission to be a seeker and to define what your own values are, regardless of what you ve been taught or told by those around you when you were growing up. The second is that our children come to us with a true sense of who they are and our job is not to make them fit in some box that we or others have determined they should fit in. A parent s job is to pay attention to what lights them up and to steer them towards that, while guiding them, nurturing them, and keeping them safe.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Christine Crockett Smith s childhood was a struggle. But it helped her to learn what kind of parent she didn t want to be. When she had her own children, she started learning as much as she could from studying other people, watching programs about parenting, and reading everything she could get her hands on. She asked questions of anyone who would give her answers. She developed the initial list of values and proceeded to parent her own children as she went back to school and earned a degree in Human Development and Family Studies. She founded a non-profit organization to successfully advocate for advanced academics in her local school district, and she also founded the parent group at her children s new charter school.
