The Gifts of Parenting: Learning and Growing with Our Children
About this book
Children can change our life. When we are with them, we tap knowledge and resources we did not even know we had...Everyone craves a happy, enriching family life, but being a parent is hard work. Living with children is a continuous exercise, like a quiz with questions of increasing difficulty that put even the most empathetic intelligence to the test. Yet there is no foolproof method or textbook that can tell us step-by-step what to do. In The Gifts of Parenting, Piero Ferrucci, psychologist and father of two young sons, talks about his experiences - the daily frustrations and happy moments that touch every parent. Writing with warmth, humour and practical wisdom, Ferrucci explains how parenting is a spiritual adventure where the most enriched mental habits disappear, new emotions surface, and love and gratitude are rediscovered. The Gifts of Parenting shows how one of life’s most challenging and selfless tasks can ultimately be the most joyous and rewarding — an extraordinary gift. It is not only a useful book for parents, but for all those who aim to realise their full potential and develop healthy relationships.
