Book Reviews of The Blessing Of A Skinned Knee: Using Jewish Teachings to Raise Self-Reliant Children

Book Review: This Christian appreciates the lucid yet caring approach
Summary: 5 Stars

A quote the author cited in the book that I thought spoke volumes was that children are like unmarked packets of seeds, and it is up to the parent to find how to care for the seed to flourish.

I am not a Martha Stewart mom, and I cannot stand overindulged, impolite children. This book gives reasoned advice after what seems like a great deal of research and introspection on the part of the author. It discusses not only how to raise children you would be proud of, but the why behind it on everything from eating to helping around the house.

This book gives an outline of how to grow a thriving garden. I would recommend it to any parent.
