Foreword
Being a parent is hard work. My own father once said to me, whatever you do it is wrong. I was a teenager at the time, so his comment was not surprising, but whatever mistakes he thought he had made, he must have done something right. These days we siblings get on well. He and my mother had laid the basis for this early in our childhood. Not that they were perfect either. They both frustrated and fulfilled me. Any book which helps parents negotiate the minefield of bringing up children is welcome.

There are many books about child-rearing, but few which base it firmly on Buddhist principles. Buddhism, in the end, is about cause and effect. If we do something positive it will have a positive effect. It is an optimistic philosophy in which it is possible to achieve complete elimination of all ignorance and therefore of all suffering. We may not be able to do this in one short lifetime, but we can make a start. For this reason, the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha begin with where we are now. His methods for dealing with life were not just for monastics, but also for the householder, the parent. These teachings and methods are the wisdom wing of Buddhism.

The other wing of the Buddhist bird is that of compassion. What does it mean to be compassionate to a child in a temper tantrum, or wheedling for the latest toy? What does it mean to be compassionate to an 18 month toddler compared with a 6 -ear old in Grade 1? Parents these days are challenged in a way that they have never been challenged before.
