New parenting book released by local Berkeley author.

Understanding Your Child as a Spiritual Gift

Learn How to Embrace Your Child's Difficult Moments

Parenting during the “ugly moments” of a child’s temper tantrum can be frustrating and disheartening. But, according to Jennifer Griffin, founder of the Spiritual Gift Institute and mother of four children, a child's tantrum is “only a gift waiting to be opened.” In her new book, "Understanding Your Child As A Spiritual Gift," Griffin introduces the concept of “channeling,” in which a child's difficult moments are actually an expression of a parent's unexpressed feelings.

Griffin teaches techniques that she discovered worked to calm her second child who cried incessantly for the first 2 ½ years of her life. In this easy-to-read book, there are several anecdotes from her journey as well as stories from other families. Included is a channeling questionnaire, practical healing techniques, and a table to help parents decipher their children's messages. Learn how becoming more authentic can release your child from a tantrum. Find this fascinating book on Amazon or in a Little Library near you.
