Mama Dews Reviews: A Guide to Meaningful and Significant Parenting Ebook Review

Chapter One: we will deal with “listening and accepting”, and show how important it is to focus on the heart- the emotional side and to understand where the child is at emotionally. We will show how to avoid approaching the child directly from our intellectual rational heights , (i.e. right/ wrong, logical/ illogical etc.), without first being aware of the child’s emotional state and we will learn how to be accepting and listening parents and teachers.
Chapter Two: we will look at authority and boundaries in education and show how important it is to establish an effective well-balanced system of authority and boundaries and learn how to do this simply.
Chapter Three: we will examine the idea of meaning and significance in education and learn how to become meaningful parents for our children. This will in turn allow us to become the people they choose as the most important to guide them in life. We will also learn how to make our children’s lives more meaningful and significant.
