Book excerpt: For over fifty years author Molly Brown Koch has been working with parent groups advocating that mothers and fathers reconnect with their own intuition and learn to trust their judgment while at the same time relying on the experts for their knowledge of child development. This two-pronged approach enables parents to recognize which behaviors stem from their own children's personalities and which are normal stages all children go through. Ms. Koch explains, ?It was clear we were all making mistakes'big ones, little ones, silly ones, serious ones. But it was also clear that we made them inadvertently. We simply didn't know that many of our well-intentioned actions could have unwanted results.' Careful listening has enabled the author to formulate a list of key secrets to raising amazing children. The ?27 Secrets? in this book contain insights that will help parents recognize actions that can turn out to be mistakes, how and why they are mistakes, how they affect children, and how they can be avoided. It explains how parents from many backgrounds have been able to adapt the ideas presented here to make the relationships with their children close and honest, enjoyable and satisfying, rewarding and, above all, lasting. By combining the collective wisdom that grew out of their wide range of experiences and feelings with a new philosophy of parenting and two eye-opening definitions of respect, parents will not just raise their children, they will uplift them and, in the process, be themselves uplifted.
