About book Raising Freethinkers: A Practical Guide For Parenting Beyond Belief (2009)
Ahhh...this is just what I've been looking for. As a nonreligious parent of a five-year-old and 16-month-old, I've struggled to figure out how to give my children a sense of spirituality while skipping the dogma, and how to answer their questions about faith when I have virtually none. This book provided me with some guidance on these questions. I can see this book becoming a staple of my parenting life; something I will go back to again and again as my children grow and enter different stages of development and thought. Even though I am not a atheist, I have a unique situation in which my spiritual path (A Course in Miracles) is specifically not meant for children. This, along with "Unconditional Parenting" by Alphie Kohn, is the best parenting book I have ever read. Respectful gentle parenting is encouraged along with critical thinking, humanitarianism and an emphasis on social justice. Marianne Williamson said we can change the world by how we parent. This book can be a tool in doing just that.

Skimmed through quite a bit of this book, only reading in depth when something caught my interest.
