By exploring children's deep spiritual needs through their developmental stages and ways to raise up the inner genius, A Spiritual Approach to Parenting offers real healing and hope to the many sensitive, bright children that have been mislabeled as 'learning disabled' or 'problem' children.” —Dr. Joye B. Bennett, child psychologist and co-editor of Nurturing Your Baby's Soul: A Spiritual Guide for Expectant Parents
