Why Your Children Love You...and What They Most Need from Parents by Eliza Lian-Ding

Why Your Children Love You defines essential matters in child-rearing for urban Asian parents. Calling parents to return to matters of the heart, mind and soul, it highlights the unique place of parents in a child's life. Basic developmental needs of children are discussed to give parents insights into vital opportunities for building strong relationships with their children. In addition, numerous exercises are provided to help parents examine their assumptions and values so that they can engage in their children's character-building with greater awareness and purpose. Balancing both Asian and Western perspectives on child-rearing, this book also addresses fundamental values like truth for parents who wish to take their roles seriously as moral guides.
