This is a book about conscious parenting. About how to competently, understanding what and why you are doing, raise a child. The book helps to overcome many parental illusions and realize the ways and possibilities of real influence on the child. How is the original childhood confidence replaced by adult uncertainty? Activity - passivity and lack of initiative? High self-esteem - complex? Faith - unbelief? What do we do with children if they change, and often, admittedly, not for the better? How do we educate them, how do we mold them to be the best? Strong and confident. Independent and responsible. Such that they can survive in this life. And not just to withstand, to survive - but to live brightly, interestingly, with dignity. This book is an opportunity to consider all the patterns and consequences of our influence on children. An opportunity to get an answer to a globally important question: how we make our children what they become. And how can we, parents, help our child grow into the best, brightest, most beautiful, correct version of himself.
