Children are a true blessing.
Yet, parenting them can be fraught with frustration, confusion and angst-often accompanied by a constant gnawing doubt in the back of our mind about whether we're truly giving our children everything they need in life for happiness, success and impact.
How do we educate? How do we set rules? How do we discipline? How do we manage health? What should a child eat? How should a child exercise? How do we know how much presence, attention and love is needed and when and how to give it? How do we avoid making the same mistakes our parents made with us? Perhaps most importantly, how do we raise strong, creative, free-thinking, resilient human beings who will grow up self-actualized, happy, successful and fully equipped to make this world a better place? And how do we do it without losing or compromising our entire life, health, career, productivity, hobbies, and friends in the journey of parenting?
These questions, and many others, are why the world so desperately needs a parenting book right now-a manual for growing a baby, raising a child and fostering an adolescent that is not set in vague theories or unproven ideas, but rather, a manual steeped in practical knowledge and deep wisdom from the parenting trenches, with all the proven habits, rituals and routines of some of the most successful parents in the world.
Boundless Parenting is different from any parenting book you'll ever hear. This book contains personal stories, anecdotes, examples, advice and wisdom from 37 parents ranging from single divorcees to grandparents to celebrities to entrepreneurs to pastors to teachers to survivalists and beyond. In each chapter, Ben Greenfield interviews a unique parent or set of parents about the highly specific, practical and personal details of their parenting journey, including the way they educate, discipline, manage time, develop presence, love and ultimately raise amazing, self-actualized and flourishing children.
You can flip to any chapter to get started or continue on your parenting journey, but by the time you've delved into the helpful and practical advice from each parent, you'll be fully prepared to tackle raising a baby, a toddler, a child, a teen, and a grown human being who has everything they need for an optimized life.
