ARTICLES ON RELATIONSHIPS, PARENTING AND FAMILY ...
Chinaberry Book Service Review of Our Children Are Watching, Spring 1996.
“This may just be one of the most important books you will ever read in your life, important for you and for your children. A positively stunning book, Our Children Are Watching captured both my heart and my mind. It could revolutionize the way we live in the world, and, quite possibly, revolutionize the world itself. Susan Ford Collins shares insights that will help us remember and revitalize our dreams. She speaks of learning to create the life we truly want, a life that serves our deepest selves and brings true success. To her, success is learning to live a life that springs directly from our hearts, a life that nurtures our relationship to our soul and its deepest longings; and, as parents, isn’t this what we all seek to teach our children? Collins’ writing is infused with vitality. In plain, direct language, Collins explains step-by-step the ten skills that lead to success, skills that apply to any situation or any person, whether a child or a CEO.
