Endangered : Johann Christoph Arnold

Endangered : Johann Christoph Arnold Very highly recomended from Jim Bailey : A book for everyone who cares about children, Endangered will renew your confidence that no matter how great the odds, the love we give children is still the most decisive factor. Every parent and educator wants to be more effective. Endangered shows them how, not by offering child-rearing tips, but by transforming the way they view children and empowering them to act on the innate wisdom they already possess. For parents who try to do "the right thing" but feel frustrated at every turn, or for teachers and caregivers who worry that no matter what they do, it is not enough, Arnold offers the reassurance that no deed of love is ever wasted, and that even the smallest sacrifice has lasting value and significance. Arnold concedes that bringing up children in the 21st century is going to demand everything of us. But he insists that as long as we raise them with the reverence that lets them know they count, we will win their confidence and their trust. And in the end, he says, if we are willing to put them first, they will give us "more than we can ever give them."
