If you are a parent, you know the feeling that there are some things you might have done better. If you are going to be a parent, there is the feeling of wanting to do the very best for your child that you possibly can. Parenting, A Sacred Task meets both these perspectives. Karuna Fedorschak knows what all parents know: there are no formulas for parenting that will work in every situation. Her book presents the basics that emerge in the best of parent-child relationships: including humor, respect, boundaries and physical touch. You do not have to be a super-parent to apply these basics. Karuna didn’t even know how to make a pancake when she began mothering. "The most essential ingredient of treating parenting as sacred,” she says, “is the intention to give your children the best of who you are, so that they can be the best of who they are."
