Mark Parent knows the meaning of quality time.
As primary care-giver to two young sons, he takes a look at the world through their eyes and shares
with the reader the lessons he learned about life and love.
"The total lack of distractions leaves you no other choice than to gaze long and hard into the unencumbered heart of all that really matters."This should be a companion book to every new parent's baby care manual. Mr. Parent knows there is more to parenting than feeding and hygiene.
"Compassion is cultivated. Empathy needs watching over.... Left to itself the untended heart grows cold." For those who are parents, it is a reminder to take time to listen to and learn from our children and give them what we can in the all-too-short time they are with us. For parents whose children are leaving or have left the nest, Mr. Parent's words will break--and
soothe--your hearts.
"This is the other side of what love is. The other side of the head-spinning joy of having him around." The author truly deserves to be named Parent with a capital P. Hopefully, this beautiful book will be followed by more about the lives of Casey and
Owen and Marc Parent.
