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.
