What a wonderful name for a book. And for me, having this child has definitely been my deepest pleasure – the touch of her skin, her exuberance, her wonder, her authenticity – I could go on and I am sure you could too.
This is a book by Diane Gossen on the process of restitution as a parenting approach. The concept is all about understanding your child’s needs and helping your child understand their needs – and are they going to meet their needs cheaply or deeply.
I feel inspired by this kind of parenting approach. It is not about controlling a child but more about connecting with our child. And the more connected we are, the less parenting issues and the more joy we experience.
For me, parenting is a continual journey of learning about myself and how to be a guide/support to my child.
I’d love to hear your favourite book.
