Raising Parents, Raising Kids Hands-on Wisdom for the Next Generation

A practical guide to connect with children's deepest natures

Therapist, parent, and visionary, Dr. Dawn Menken introduces a cutting-edge approach to the joy and wonders of the world of parenting.

Loaded with practical tips, inspiring examples, and her own intimate stories, Raising Parents, Raising Kids goes beyond the conventional “how to” book, using principles of process-oriented psychology to navigate the complex waters of:
 

• conflict
• power dynamics
• diversity
• social challenges
• bullying

This guide is for any parent, caretaker, or educator who wants to nurture children's emotional, spiritual, and social lives. We can create more meaningful relationships with children by supporting their deepest natures.

Using groundbreaking insights and techniques to tackle difficult problems like bullying, this book addresses typical challenges of the parenting relationship, parents’ own personal growth, and the call to parent not only our children, but also the planet, and ultimately, ourselves.
