Of Hurried Sex and Bad Cooking…
“What is true of hurried sex and bad cooking is true of hurried family life ‘cut’ (as it were) to the pace of a TV commercial or a frantic sex scene. Nothing is done to allow for time for parents to take several years off from work to learn each individual child’s wants, likes, and needs, and to care for their unique and evolving young children, let alone to accommodate an easy return to work. There is a blindness to how children change too. And it takes time to learn each child’s personality, to be there as they change and grow. To know them better than they know themselves. And they return the favor. To be known by a clear-sighted honest child is to be seen as you pretty much are.”
A pre-order purchase of the paperback right now really will help the book far more than buying it later. And if you decide to give away copies of my book as gifts to family and friends or to those you work with - say to everyone you know :) - please pre-order those extra copies today. This is when you can really help out most. In today's nutty book world pre-orders are "where it's at."
