RAISING A FAMILY: LIVING ON PLANET PARENTHOOD

Jeanne and Don Elium's holistic approach to parenting in today's hectic world is well rendered by the reassuring tones of the authors themselves. Calmly putting forth their philosophy, the Eliums alternate throughout the reading and share their outlook, techniques and solutions to the trials of raising a family. The two anecdotes describe the way their family usually responds to crisis and then offer an alternative--a more productive way to address family needs. The Eliums are entirely human, fallible and believable, making smooth family functioning just a listen away. H.L.S. © AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG/SEP 99]
