Ardell <P>It's hard enough to live a secular life in a religious world. And bringing up children without religious influence can be even more daunting. Despite the difficulties, a large and growing number of parents are choosing to raise their kids without religion. <P>In <i>Parenting Beyond Belief</i>, Dale McGowan celebrates the freedom that comes with raising kids without formal indoctrination and advises parents on the most effective way to raise freethinking children. With advice from educators, doctors, psychologists, and philosophers as well as wisdom from everyday parents, the book offers tips and insights on a variety of topics, from "mixed marriages" to coping with death and loss, and from morality and ethics to dealing with holidays. Sensitive and timely, <i>Parenting Beyond Belief</i> features reflections from such freethinkers as Mark Twain, Richard Dawkins, Bertrand Russell, and wellness guru Dr. Don Ardell that will empower every parent to raise both caring and independent children without constraints. 52815 25 4 2007 Parenting Beyond Belief: On Raising Ethical, Caring Kids Without Religion total:182|5:65|4:70|3:36|2:10|1:1| 182 734 482 63 4 7 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Tue Oct 02 15:17:21 -0700 2007 Tue Oct 02 15:18:41 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 6 false false Wed Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 18 08:37:24 -0700 2007 Wed Oct 15 09:40:01 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 4 false false Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Jan 13 22:40:32 -0800 2008 Tue Mar 25 14:17:54 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat Nov 22 08:15:41 -0800 2008 Sat Nov 22 08:23:34 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Nov 11 05:46:24 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 11 05:46:24 -0800 2009
