Our children's dreams are wrapped like gifts in their unconscious, waiting for parents to open them. –Caron Goode, from the book

Who taught you to believe in yourself?

Did someone in your childhood nurture your gifts and interests? Did someone believe in your abilities? Was there one person who deeply influenced the person you are today in a positive way?

If you answered yes to any of the above, then you're extremely lucky. Not all children are so fortunate. In fact, many aren't. That's because even our best intentions as caregivers can be misinterpreted by children and have lasting, harmful effects.

Caron Goode's new book, Nurture Your Child's Gift: Inspired Parenting ($14.95, 233 pages, ISBN: 1-58270-040-0) challenges you to become a more aware and loving parent through a deeper knowledge of your child and yourself. Drawing on her myriad experiences as a parent and certified counselor, Caron teaches you how to discover your child's gift and encourage it on a day-to-day basis. She offers highly creative, cutting-edge activities to do with your child to help them find inner direction and self-reliance at an early age. Included also are the latest developments in mind-body science and a new, holistic parenting technique called "whole-child parenting." But perhaps best of all, Nurture Your Child's Gift is an uplifting, chapter-by-chapter read with easy-to-follow activities for children and parents.

And yet this book isn't just for parents. In fact, everyone stands to gain from this book. That's because anyone can nurture a child and help them discover their gifts. Is there a child in your life that could be nurtured?
