Thanks for sharing your thoughts about raising kids and The List. I made a list of things I wish I had been taught too and while there are some other pieces like boundaries and autonomy a lot of your items were similar to mine (worded more eloquently of course). As far as being a parent and teaching kids about God, isn’t “The Larger Thing” sometimes just teaching them to trust the “God” part of themselves that’s within them, within all of us? It sounds like you did that admirably and I always tell people that I am proud of my children because they are good humans, they see good in others, and isn’t that a divine power anyway? Thanks for all your thoughts and I’m so proud of you and Cynthia on the book!
Ah, @Susan, you made my heart swell up and tears come from my eyes. Thank you for distilling the wisdom of your experiences into a small, powerful dose. It spoke to and instructed me. Thank you!
Today I read the list. Very helpful ❤️

That list of things you wished you’d learned was gold to me today, Susan!

@Susan, thank you for that list. It's just what I didn't know I was looking for.
Thanks for letting me know! It always feels good when something lands. Hope it helps.
Love the book cover!
