Thoughts on Children cover

In Thoughts on Children, two fathers share their insights on the challenges and joys of parenting, blending practical advice with profound reflections.

There's a saying that each child is a thought in the mind of God. This belief can inspire parents to approach their children with profound reverence. However, the reality of parenting can often leave us feeling powerless, whether dealing with a toddler's tantrum or a teenager's silence. In Thoughts on Children, two fathers—one a son of the other—explore the complexities of raising children in today's world.

The authors, the Blumhardts, draw on their rich theological heritage while offering practical insights into parenting. They reflect on how their experiences have shaped their understanding of children and the responsibilities that come with raising them. Their wisdom is rooted in a deep appreciation for the unique individuality of each child, emphasizing the importance of nurturing their growth with love and patience.

This little book serves as a guide for parents who seek to balance reverence with the challenges of everyday life. The Blumhardts provide time-tested advice that resonates with both new and seasoned parents, reminding us that while we may sometimes feel helpless, we are not alone in this journey. Thoughts on Children encourages us to embrace the joys and struggles of parenting with a thoughtful approach.

Still relevant for our time, Christoph Blumhardt was and is my spiritual father. -- Jürgen Moltmann
