Musings on Spiritual Matters

This was an awesome book.  It is not a “how to” on parenting but is a scientific study of some of the ways that people raise children.  This book was a great read, which means that it flowed well, and was a highly interesting read.  It really causes you to think about some of the habits that you have in training your children.  The book looks at some of the common assumptions that people have that are important in raising children to be good kids in this world.  And it looks at some of these methods, and through studies, shows that this is really a wrong approach.  One of the best chapters was on the nature of praise.  How you praise will dictate your child’s future.  It talked about the need to address race in the family.  It even talks about why brothers and sisters fight.  Of all of the parenting books that I have read, this was the most interesting.  It might not be filled with step one and step two stuff, but it will seriously causes you to think about some of the stuff you see in parenting.  This was a great read people and I highly recommend it.
