How can over-extended families find those pockets of peace and harmony in an over-connected world? By banishing the over-scheduling monster and taking time to wander in nature, sit down for a family meal, taking time for self-care, and celebrating what makes your family unique.Over-scheduled, frazzled, scattered, distracted - those words describe the average modern family as they juggle school, work, sports, practice and rehearsals, homework, meals, and socializing on and off line. Renee Trudeau, who has worked with mothers for many years, wants to help those families change from over-scheduled and frazzled to calm and connected. Based on her successful and popular workshops, Nurturing the Soul of Your Family delivers on the promise of its title by helping mothers and fathers learn to cultivate harmony and peace and guide their families toward a more connected and meaningful way of life.
Renee proposes an awakened family life, where small moments are not taken for granted and every day includes these small moments: a brief stroll in nature before breakfast or after dinner; slowing down to savor the silly comment from your daughter or the unique phrasing of your son; using a few minutes before bedtime to turn off the TV and computers and touch base with each other. Renee provides tools, exercises, suggestions, and stories that will inspire and guide readers to positive results.
