Compassionate, Engaged Parenting As 'a Help to Life'

Compassionate, Engaged Parenting as 'a Help to Life' is a plea-on behalf of today's child-which closely examines our sacred role of parenthood. It is a penetrating presentation of what it means to be a holistically informed parent in a world of confused ideals, diverse offerings, opportunities, and possibilities. In light of the poignant truth that the author states insightfully, "Tomorrow's humanity is about today's child following the footsteps of the parent", it must be every parent's bounden duty to safeguard the institution of parenthood aimed at elevating the position of today's child-the builder, and the architect of humanity.The message here is a call for the exercise of tireless affection, and time-sensitive attention on the parent's part, as life-models and mentors of a precious developmental being, from the very inception of life to its culmination. Consequently, a cultivated way of life, informed by humility and engaging interaction with the child may truly bring about lasting peace and joy for all, thus serving humanity for generations to come.A deep reverence towards the child who awaits phase-appropriate, nourishment and nurturing in body-mind-spirit is urged throughout the pages of this book. It elucidates the importance of modeling life by way of compassionate wisdom in thought, word, and deed. Ultimately, peace and success in life, it is held, becomes the direct reflection of irrevocable life-experience, hands-on; it overshadows all other forms of knowledge.Thus, a child's heart is best touched solely by means of unconditional LOVE-demonstrated with respectful passion and sensitivity towards both self, and the other. In a world that continues to experience the ripple effects of human conditioning and choice making, a change is possible only at the level of the grassroots-the family. Accordingly, our human purpose may be fully achieved through 'compassionate engaged parenting as a help to life'. This fulfills a child's eternal cry for LOVE-by means of time-invested parental attention. In sum, neither confused materialism, nor other diversions and distractions contribute to the healthy formation of personality. Knowledge, its distillations, and abstractions-by way of originality and creativity-may only be grounded upon direct experience of the five-senses.All in all, this book offers the timeless wisdom of selflessness-as opposed to selfishness-for parenting with mission and purpose. It is a stimulating exposition of the ageless truth of compassion that underlies our natural human-experience that is our lasting endowment of knowledge and expression.
