This book would be for the parent who is intentional about their parenting, conscientious, and dedicated to growing as a parent which means sometimes being stretched outside our comfort zone. My sister, one of the brightest people I know, introduced me to this book. There are so many parenting books out there but this one will make you think on a deeper level about values and how to apply them in the day-to day.

Parents today find it harder than ever to uphold their own values within their families when they seem so at odds with those of our current culture. We seek security in a society that seems more and more dangerous, grance in a culture that thrives on competition, and gratitude in an age of ever-increasing materialism. How can this generation of parents raise self-reliant, compassionate and ethical children?
Drawing on the wisdom of the Torahm the Talmud and important Jewish teachings, The Blessing of a Skinned Knee provides the answer. Using a framework of nine blessings, Mogel provides parents with a new set of priorities, helping to ease apprehension while creating a poritive feeling about the future.
