Full Description
Fully revised and updated, this classic guide is not a "how-to" parenting manual. Rather, with honesty, warmth, and humor, the authors share their own struggles and joys and offer models for reflection that encourage parents to consider how their beliefs shape their identities and family life.
This Second Edition includes:
- Context on today's social and political upheaval, including polarization, racism, and climate anxiety;
- Voices of LGBTQ parents, parents of color, and new insights into non-binary, transgender, and neurodiverse identities;
- Exploration of reproductive choices, and the decision to have—or not have—children;
- A study guide to support group reflection.
Ideal for individual reading or group study, Hopes and Fears fosters connection, conversation, and spiritual growth, and empowers parents to embrace the spiritual journey of raising children, even amid uncertainty, challenge, and change.
