Parenting Resources
Spiritual Resources for Sacred Parenting
Children of Spirit is dedicated to honoring the body, mind and spirit (heart) of every child.
These suggestions come from my readings, studies, and research on parenting our children in the new millennium, and what we can do as parents, grandparents, and caregivers for our children, youth, and teens to support them in finding their ever evolving place in the universe. Much is changing energetically, not only in our youth and in what and how they learn, but also in how they are challenging people, systems, and institutions that do not allow them to think for themselves, live from their hearts, and their truths.
The spiritual world of children is getting much recognition from many well known doctors, theologians, therapists, teachers, etc. So much so, that many feel and are finding was to incorporate the spiritual aspect of our children into our school system and make its evaluation just as important as the standardized test results. Some of these individuals are Mary and Tobin Hart, Joseph Chilton Pearce, Neale Donald Walsch, Jean Houston, Bruce Lipton, and Doc Lew Childre, just to name a few.
In light of these shifts, and many more, I hope these resources, along with the support of Children of Spirit and their mentoring, coaching, programs and classes, will begin to support you and enlighten you in raising this generation of youth.
