WHY DO YOU LOVE ME?
Dear Parents, This is the first in what will become a series of books designedto suggest subjects worthy of discussion with your children as theymature in their curiosity about important life issues. As adults wethink the way adults do, and we often forget how we thought as chil-dren. We have forgotten some of our fears, worries, complaints, andconfusions, which were products of our innocence and fantasies col-liding with real-life experiences and challenges. One of the most important means of showing our children thatwe love and care about them is to understand how they think andwhat they feel. In doing so, we reinforce them on their journeythrough life and give them a solid road map to guide them throughlife’s challenging terrains. The best way to understand and help ourchildren is to talk with them. Reading ‘WHY DO YOU LOVE ME? to your children will open the door to incredible and moving discussions on love as both a feeling and a responsibility. From one parent to another, I hope you’ll be moved. Shalom, Dr. Laura Schlessinger
