Premise - families exist to nurture
-
i.e. to fill their members'
basic needs. Depending
on many factors, families (like yours) range from low-nurturance to
high-nurturance. This lesson uses the ideas in
lessons 1-5 to propose how to significantly raise the nurturance-level of
your family and help break the [wounds + unawareness]
cycle.DO NOT SKIP THE PRIOR
LESSONS!
Objective -
This Lesson will raise your awareness of
(a) normal stages of growth for kids
without handicaps, (b) what typical kids
need adult help with as they grow, and
(c) a definition of, and requisites for,
effective parenting, It will also
teach you to distinguish Grown Nurtured
Children (GNCs) from Grown Wounded
Children (GWCs).
Typical
kids of family divorce, and adopted, foster, and step
kids, have special needs, which are outlined in lesson
7.
Lesson 6 - Keys to Effective
Parenting
These articles aim to raise (a) your awareness of effective
parenting, and (b) the odds you'll fill the needs of any
dependent kids adequately.

Pause and reflect. What are you thinking and feeling
as you finish this course? Is their something you want to donow with what you've learned? Would the other
adults in your family (and community) be able to pass the
parenting quiz in this lesson? Would the teachers in your
schools? if not - why not?
Recap
This self-study Lesson proposes fundamental
information that average adults need to conceive and raise a
young child successfully over two decades. Putting this
information into practice requires typical adults to have
(a) freed their true Self to guide them through the decades
(Lesson 1), and to have (b) inte-grated the key ideas in
each of the other prior lessons.
Premise - the reason we are a nation of
Grown Wounded Children
(GWCs) is because a high major-ity of our parents and child
caregivers (including grandparents and teachers) are unable
to meet these two requisites. So far, our citizens accept
that, tho it is inexorably destroying our culture and
environment. Doe this include you so far?
If
you're interested in growing and enjoying a
high-nurturance stepfamily, continue with Lesson 7. Otherwise,
complete this course with
Lesson 8.
