Quote of the Week
"Nurturing our kids hearts and souls as well as their minds and their bodies is educating the whole child." - Maggie Dent
Nurturing Your Child's Soul, Not Just Their Mind And Body
"Raising a child is a huge commitment. You are responsible for nurturing not only your child’s mind and body but also their soul. You receive help in nurturing your child’s body right from the beginning. Nurses, midwives and pediatricians provide guidance on feeding and caring for your baby.
Soon you have help from various schools and organizations in developing your child’s mind. Teachers, administrators and government officials all play a role. They influence what your children will learn at different ages.
Where do you turn for help in nurturing your child’s soul?" Read this week's article from Priceless Parenting to explore different ways to nurture a child's heart and soul.

Title: The Spiritual Child: The New Science on Parenting for Health and Lifelong Thriving
By: Lisa Miller
Stage: Any
"I loved this book. I have purchased many copies to give to friends and just ordered another last week to give to some new parents. I wish I had had this book from the moment my kids were born! The book is a great look through a scientific lens at the importance of nurturing spirituality in our children. I am convinced that spirituality does help children grow into healthy adults. This book is a helpful guide to keeping our kids on the right path through nurturing their spirituality (and helping ourselves as parents in the process)." - Amazon Reviewer
