This book is intended to help to raise the awarenss of any person who is responsible for a child to issues and imperatives that are often unseen or misperceived. Although the content of this book is primarily for parents and others who have responsibility for the care of children, it is of relevance to anyone. Every one of us was once a child, and every one of us had to undergo a process of development that was supervised by people of adult years. When we struggle in our adult lives it is not uncommon to find that there is a resonance between current problems and difficulties that we have encountered in early life. Understanding such links can aid us in the task of improving the outcome of present-day situations where difficult emotions are interfering with our capacity to deal with the matter in hand. It is hoped that the material in this book will help readers to expand their thinking. Any consequent evolution of their humanity will be of great benefit to the next generation.
