Yes, Ed, tell me!! What do I want? He says it plainly, right there on page 2… I had just met the author! He hooked me at the title of the first chapter, “What Do I Really Want for My Children”. I have a long history of devouring parenting and advice books (my latest find: Yes, Your Teenager is Crazy! ) but this one was different. I bought his book and started reading it that night. He was funny, interesting, sincere, and we all hung on his every word. He was a relaxed speaker who told stories about his own childhood, and stories about his experiences as a child psychiatrist. There were hundreds of eager moms and dads ready to soak up any parenting advice he could share. The school was invited to participate in a lecture series, and Ed Hallowell was one of the speakers. I first came across Ed Hallowell when my oldest daughter was attending this incredible early childhood school. The book is called The Childhood Roots of Adult Happiness, and it is written by Edward M. I just wanted to share a philosophy that has been my north star through almost all of my parenting years. I am not getting paid for this post, it’s not a review.
Today I want to share with you a book that I have read, re-read, dog-eared and scribbled side notes in for the past 10 years or longer.
