Spiritual Child |
a Book by Valerie Dass | |
Forward "When it comes to the emotional and mental health of our nation’s children, does it feel like we are free falling? We have grave reasons to be alarmed and deeply saddened with the statistics of teenage suicide, ADHD, autism, and violence by, and among, our children. In our efforts to find answers, we have often relied on pharmaceutical solutions. The use of drugs with children can often lead to greater heartache. "There is a better way! "What if our children, starting at a very early age, learned how to access love? What if they learned that they could feel the presence of God, working within and through them? What if they learned the solutions were within their own reach, rather than looking for something or someone outside of themselves to make them feel better? "Valerie Dass has given us just such a blueprint for making this a reality. She guides parents in understanding how important it is to talk with our children about God and how to actually do it. She knows that fear and love cannot hold the same space at the same time. She instructs us how to come from love and how to teach our children to deeply and completely experience love. "These teachings cross the differences among religions. No matter what your particular faith beliefs are, The Spiritual Child reminds us that the center of all faiths is love. She reminds us that God is love and when we truly open ourselves up to feel God, we can’t help but come from love for others and ourselves. "As a mental-health counselor, my life work is about sharing “tools.” I often tell my clients that it is as if I work in a home improvement store and I am carrying around my tool belt. I have been gathering these resources for over 30 years and I have “road tested” every one. I seldom work with children or young people, but when I do I always tell them if they could “get” these tools at their age they can have a life filled with joyful possibilities. "The Spiritual Child gives parents and children uncommon tools we must have in today’s world. It is a means for allowing our children to experience the best of which they are, moving from fear to love. It is a tool that serves all of us in humankind and brings hope to the future of our children."
