The Tao te king for parents

The Tao Te Ching by Laozi is, alongside the Bible, the most published book in the world and is valued for its philosophical depth and practical wisdom. "It is rare for someone to succeed in improving such a classic and gifting it to the modern world. Such an achievement requires a person of extraordinary wisdom, insight, and kindness. William Martin is such a person, and this is such a book." Dan Millman

"Children have never been particularly good at listening to what their parents have to say," writes James Baldwin, "but they always manage one thing: to imitate them."

"The ancient teachings that emphasize patience, compassion, simplicity, and parental mindfulness provide mothers and fathers the opportunity to quietly reflect on themselves and honor the authentic nature of their children." Virginia Beane Rutter.
