  This rewarding book gives parents support and advice about applying the principles of Buddhism to issues they face every day. It provides practical tools that spiritually minded moms and dads can use to make family interactions more rewarding and meaningful. One of the best things about Buddhism as a spiritual path is that you can practice it anywhere. Your home can be your temple, your car your meditation space, your dinner table a debating ground. The book suggests exercises and discussion starters that can easily be integrated into a family's routine: games to play while driving in the car; activities that encourage mindfulness and sharing; stories to read aloud; strategies to help kids control their anger and respond in helpful ways when they feel they have been wronged. Written by a single father of two who is a long-time Buddhist practitioner, the book will appeal to every parent looking for practical ways to engage kids in fun activities that impart spiritual and ethical principles, such as generosity, citizenship, patience, and morality.
