In the eight years since our daughter was born, completely new perspectives on life have opened up for my wife and me, as they probably do for many parents. Perhaps there is hardly any other event that changes someone’s outlook as deeply and permanently as the birth of a child.
Alongside my role as a father, I am also a Christian Science practitioner, so it’s been natural to take a prayerful approach to parenting. Some of the questions I pondered at the start of this new journey were: What really is parenting? How can we look at it spiritually, and apply the spiritual understanding we have gained through Christian Science?
I see parenting as an opportunity to nurture a loving relationship of shared progress.
