The Parent's Tao Te Ching
The Parent's Tao Te Ching: Ancient Advice for Modern Parents | William Martin
5 posts | 4 read | 19 to read
William C. Martin has freshly reinterpreted the Tao Te Ching to speak directly and clearly to the most difficult of modern tasks -- parenting. With its combination of free verse and judicious advice, The Parent's Tao Te Ching addresses the great themes that permeate the Tao and that support loving parent- child relationships: responding without judgment, emulating natural processes, and balancing between doing and being.

How did I not know of this book before now? This may end up as my go-to baby shower gift.

There are moments of brilliance and moments of complete and utter bullshit. And don't get me started on the washing over mental health issues that seems to be a hallmark of religious writing of all flavors.

Sometimes natural parenting advice is total bullshit.

Short book filled with thoughtful advise and meditations on parenting. So many ideas worth reflection, including this little gem.

What I thought would be a cheesy book instead became a book that helps me explorer introspectively how I parent.
