Ask anyone who has children and they will almost all agree that raising them is one of the hardest tasks they perform. Parenting is difficult in part due to our lack of being prepared. Just like carpenters and plumbers who are given correct training and tools of good quality in order to do their job, there are well-established, effective tools for parents which can help us in that important job. Most of us can benefit by learning how to use them.
In order to help parents learn some of the skills they need to be effective, Shanti writes a monthly column on the topic for the Taos News and had a regular radio program with Daniel Cordova on KXMT, 99.1 FM, Taos, New Mexico. The interviews and columns can be downloaded for free from this website, which also offers additional resources for parents, as well as information about Shanti.
