Hope’s Reviews > Growing Up Godless: A Parent's Guide to Raising Kids without Religion > Status Update

Good basic discussion about when, how, or if to discuss your lack of belief with others. Ms Mitchell leans toward a low-key "let's all get along" style, but only if it's not damaging or hurtful to make concessions to the prevalence of belief.

This is an excellent collections of essays on parenting in general. Many of them are very short; quick, engaging reads.

"While you've lost some sway as a parent when your kids start finding their own answers, that is one measure, albeit small, of parental victory." Yes! This!

The disclaimer and introduction seem primarily aimed as reassuring the reader that the author is just another mom, with a slightly different approach to parenting. I come to this book as an Atheist already convinced that kids don't need religion to grow up happy, healthy, and strong. The conversational, mom-in-the-carpool-line tone will help ease the general reader into the topics presented.

Just arrived!
