No one has, nor will they ever write a book telling you how to raise your child, that's impossible No one knows what to do for your child better than you do because no one loves them the way you do. No one wants more for them than you do. No one is more perfectly suited to give them what they need than you are. Beyond Loving is about helping parents recognize opportunities for growth and development through out life, in both ourselves and our children. It s about learning to identify what we want for our children and from the parenting experience itself. It is my hope that those who read Beyond Loving will recognize the ethereal connection between parent and child and learn to appreciate and utilize this great gift for the benefit of our children as well as ourselves.
