Every child enters the world with a special gift-the potential to do great things. As parents, educators, or mentors, it's our job to bring that potential to fruition by helping children to realize and maximize their abilities. It's not an easy task, or one to be taken casually, and Goode aims to make the outcome more certain by supporting greater parental awareness and involvement. Using techniques based in the latest mind-body science and "whole-child parenting" (a new development in holistic parenting), Goode encourages interactive activities between parent and child to develop self-reliance and inner direction at an early age. Three sections reveal how to recognize the child's dream, how to empower and build self esteem, and how to ensure future success by establishing patterns of mental fitness, musical expression, and correct breathing - yes breathing! This is a genuinely eye-opening handbook that couldn't help but foster a healthier, saner, and more productive generation if parents would only read and use it.
