|
 The Three Virtues of Effective Parenting applies the ancient wisdom of Confucius to the challenges of modern parenting.
Confucius believed that any change we wish to make in our lives must begin from within. This book calls on readers to develop the three virtues of Benevolence, Wisdom and Courage to help them understand the changes they can make to become a better parent. Readers will discover that the power of virtue is two fold: It will help them to become a better and happier person as well as influence and change the behavior of the people around them.
Using the Philosophy of Confucius, this book aims for real-life results in parent/child relationships. Readers will come to understand the three roles they play as parents - the benevolent ruler, the wise teacher and the courageous friend.

Comment:
Yuen helps western parents practice the Confucian art of self-cultivation while raising children within the context of Western society. As she describes her mistakes and the work she did to correct them, she gives insight into how she leaned to be a better parent with rare honesty and humor.
