Parenting For Everyone - what is inside of this book?

The book of over 150 000 words represents the author’s development of a concise three-point childrearing system, utilizing the ideas of philosophers, educators, and poets, from a span of centuries.  

To understand these basics the author divides his book into three sections:

Book one: Man For Man is devoted to parents 

Why does parenting fail?  It is because parents don't have clear parenting goals.  Without setting clear goals no one serious project is accomplished. Raising children is the most dearest parents' project.

Why does parenting fail, even if parents know their goals?  It is because their goals are of finite type (ex. A child gets a good grades, good job, good house).  However, a human soul is born to strive to the infinite goals (ex. Make a big difference, exploit creative capacity, reach internal freedom).  

Why does parenting fail, even if parents set infinite goals?  It is because even for good goals not every means are good.  This strict condition in parenting, that only certain means are working in upbringing of children, if properly understood, leads parents to satisfaction and joy from children.

The book explains to parents their duty to help the child to become a Man.  It is about the goals, means, and conditions of upbringing. Symbolically, parenting must have clear infinite goals (represented by the sun in the picture), such as happiness, freedom, beauty, goodness, and truth. Also, parenting takes into account modern conditions of upbringing and uses moral means, such as love and justice of parents (in the picture represented by the ground). 

 

Book two: Man in Man is devoted to children. It helps to discover roots of humanity in people.  Successful people have common human quality – they are able to love other people.  This ability is saying of their developed heart.  How does heart develop in a child?  Psychologists assume that parents know…

Sometimes people say, “I was young and stupid.”  They mean they didn’t know what was good for them and what was evil.  What is intelligence?  It is knowledge of what is good and evil.  

Why some people can kill others?  Why some people can’t?  This topic is the most important in parenting.  No one author discusses it, because it belongs to domain of ethics, it describes spirit of a Man.  

B
ook two is devoted to upbringing of heart, intelligence and spirit of children. In the picture flower represents spirit of a child, leaves - heart and moral intelligence.

 

Book three: Man and Man describes the relationship between parents and children, keeping in mind knowledge from previous two books. This is what most good authors on parenting write in their books: how to talk to children so that they listen, how to avoid tantrums and bad behavior, etc.  They describe the way of communication and cooperation with children, which Soloveychik calles as moral means.  However, if parents want their children to become their like-minded people, they need to know what mutual creativity is.  This is what other books miss.

The third book is devoted to ways, through which parents reach hearts and minds of children: through communication (symbolically, roots of the flower) parents feed roots of humanity in children, through cooperation (stem)parents work together in children's development, and through mutual creativity (sun's rays)parents instill in children the desire for happiness, internal freedom, and other lofty ideas.

The three pictures together represent ideal image of a three sized beautiful system of parent-child relationship, focused on the development of the internal world of a child. This image became a logo of our website http://www.parentingforeveryone.com/ - raising children with love and conscience:
