Even though I already parent beyond belief, these webinars sound like a unique opportunity to listen in on thoughful discussions about secular parenting.
Dale McGowan, author/editor of Parenting Beyond Belief: On Raising Ethical, Caring Kids Without Religion, hosts a five-part series of online seminars (or “webinars”) addressing the central issues of parenting without religion.
WEBINAR #1: Secular Family, Religious World
Explores issues of secular parenting in a religious world.
WEBINAR #2: The Religious Extended Family
Looks at ways to minimize conflict, resolve disputes, and turn seemingly unbridgeable gaps into benefits for the entire extended family.
WEBINAR #3: The Art of the Question
Explores ways in which secular parents can use the pivotal moment of the question to build an environment of boundless wonder and fearless inquiry for their children.
WEBINAR #4: Raising Naturally Ethical Kids
Describes the difference between commandments and principles and offers tips for encouraging children to be actively involved in their own moral development.
WEBINAR #5: Death and Life
A healthy understanding of death can help our children envision life itself in an entirely new way—one that religion cannot hope to match for pure, astonished joy.
Thanks for that! Hope to see you there.
Lynn, I’m tickled to see these here first (and of course, thanks to Dale!) and I am commending the whole series to Favorite Daughter as her college comparative religion class starts tomorrow — where she will be no doubt, a bright but lone light in this wilderness of ignorant yet self-assured southern fundamentalist hegemony . . .seems unfair though, too easy, she needs more of a challenge!
