Making Heart-Bread

Heart-bread is made from memories of love. It never gets used up, and the more you let heart-bread feed you, the more you have. Children can make heart-bread every night by asking themselves two questions: "What was my favorite time today?" "What was my least favorite time today?"This process, so simple that even two-year-olds enjoy it, encourages children to take in nourishment from the day's grateful memories and heal painful memories. In a world where our children are bombarded with messages telling them what they must have in order to be happy, here is a way we can help them know from within what will bring them genuine and lasting happiness. Includes a section for parents and caregivers who want to help children make heart-bread every night by taking in love from nourishing moments and healing the moments that took life away. Second in a series for children by the Linns, this is an adaptation of their best-selling book for adults, Sleeping with Bread: Holding What Gives You Life.
