TitleParent Trek: Nurturing Creativity and Care in Our Children
AuthorJeanne Zimmerly Jantzi
NotesOur children must create a new and different path if they are to live out the vision of enough for everyone. Our culture often encourages children to see themselves as consumers, to value individualism above community, and to believe that more is always better. If children are to challenge the status quo, they need a clear idea of how their lives fit with what they believe. They need self-confidence and the assurance that they can have an impact on the world.

The authors and contributors set out to provide a resource for adults interested in helping children develop the capacity to live creative, generous, joyful lives in a world of limits and great disparities. Chapter titles include:
