How to educate a child according to Baha'i principles while dealing with a day-to-day problems: this is the subject of this immensely practical book. The Baha'i reader will realise more than ever, some of the implications of the many references in the Baha'i writings to raising children. The author approaches his subject with knowledge and zest, with sympathy and with encouragement to enjoy their children, to take a moral stand, and above all, to realise that being a mother or father is an honourable activity.
