Lifeways is about children, about family life, and about being a parent. But most of all it is about freedom -- and how the tension between personal fulfillment and family life may be resolved.Lifeways originated amongst groups of women -- and some men -- who were seeking a renewing spirit for family life. They sought to create a new vision of the tasks of mothers and fathers, a new "eye" for the meaning of "home" as a place that supports all those involved, children and adults, in the "lifeways."This book will be a valuable resource for parents, those involved in kindergartens and playgroups, and for women's support groups.
