Carol Kuykendall

Letting go is one of our most important responsibilities as a parent—and one of our most difficult challenges. Our loving gets in the way. We feel torn between the instinct to hold on and the responsibility to let go.Loving and Letting Go offers a unique combination of the author’s perspective from two critical points in the life of her family. Carol Kuykendall wrote the original descriptions when her children were young and she was just beginning to recognize the importance of letting go. Now she’s added the reflections of a mother looking back on those years with a greater understanding of this lifelong challenge. “The heart attitudes we form when our children are young often set the tone for the way we continue to live out this critical responsibility of parenting,” she claims. “That’s why letting go starts with preschoolers.”This easy-to-read, revised and expanded edition of Carol’s best-selling Learning to Let Go features new illustrations, time-tested tips, practical applications, and questions at the end of each chapter for personal reflection and/or discussion with a spouse or group. It also includes updated resources such as: General Guidelines to Letting Go 21 Practical Parenting Tips Consequences of Overprotecting Our Children Building a Firm Foundation Top Ten Ways to Love Your Child As Carol concludes, “In loving and letting go of our children, we learn greater truths that transcend parenting and help us live out our faith.” This book is a vital resource no matter where you are in the process of parenting.
