Brand: PLYQ
Product Description
Becoming Good Parents goes beyond a psychological understanding of parenting to include a deeper explication of the philosophical moral and existential spiritual dimensions of parenting. It counters the contemporary notion that parents can be satisfied with simply being good enough in their parenting practices which encourages a sense of complacency. Through everyday examples illustrative use of Harper Lees moral novel To Kill a Mockingbird and a reinterpretation of the theoretical viewpoints of psychologists Erik Erikson Heinz Kohut and Rollo May along with philosophers Iris Murdoch and Michael Gelven the author argues that the struggle toward perfection goodness is a natural human impulse. Parenting provides an optimal context for the practice of character refinement which can potentially contribute to the psychological and spiritual growth of both parents and children. Ultimately the book demonstrates that by becoming good parents we become good persons.show more
