we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do." - Johann von Goethe
A LIFETIME OF JOY
Work & Family Life newsletter has recommended The Childhood
Roots of Adult Happiness by Edward Hallowell (New York: Ballentine Books,
2002). In reviewing this book the newsletter observed:
"Based on current research as well as his own personal experience as a
parent, teacher and child psychiatrist, Dr. Edward M. Hallowell ushers the readers
into 'the often-thought-about but rarely mapped world of 'happiness-in-the-making.'
The qualities we want to instill in children are of paramount importance,
says Dr. Hallowell. They include optimism, playfulness, a can-do attitude,
and 'connectedness,' the feeling of being a part of something larger than yourself.
The five-step plan Dr. Hallowell suggests is based on connection, play,
practice, mastery, and recognition. These concepts, he says, hold the
key to raising children with healthy self-esteem, moral awareness and spiritual
values."
