Children of the Green: Raising our Kids in Pagan Traditions - Softcover

You don't have to be a Pagan to benefit from Hannah Johnston's magical child-rearing wisdom. Like a trusted friend, she gives us glimpses of her own parenting process, while sharing detailed information on everything from identifying your child's elemental type to encouraging creativity to dealing with conflict-and much, much more. Children of the Green is a valuable resource for any parent who wants to raise healthy, happy children with love and respect for the earth. --Cait Johnson, co-author (with Maura D. Shaw) of Celebrating the Great Mother: Earth-Honoring Activities for Parents and Children.

Children of the Green is an in-depth consideration of child raising from within pagan spirituality. Written by a long-time pagan witch, educator and parent, it considers the deeper questions of raising children within pagan spirituality, and the building of community for pagan families. Taking a unique approach, Children of the Green focuses not solely on sharing the festivals and celebratory cycles of paganism, but also discusses the moral, ethical and practical issues of raising kids as pagans; from working with schools, handling family changes and crises, child development from a pagan perspective and facing the challenges of a changing world.
