Conscious Parenting “The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world,” the saying goes. But, with so many institutionalized forces (sexism, nuclear families, cultural violence, to name a few) defining the shape and value of child rearing, how are parents to move beyond merely coping to seize the opportunity they have for encouraging peace and equality among future generations? Two books available at the public library. Right from the Start, al Guide to Nonsexist Child Rearing by Selma Greenberg and Parenting for Peace and Justice by Kathleen and James McGinnis, have some' practical suggestions for integrating social concerns into family life. Both books are written by parents to other parents, a refreshing reprieve from the many books by experts advocating their childraising I prescriptions. ' Greenberg cites a good deal of research to document how from the i moment of birth girls and boys are set upon separate and unequal | paths in life. In her chapter on redefining motherhood, she stresses the1 feminist position that mothering becomes easier when a woman is able to exercise full adult status in the home as well as in the world. Even though these are large issues, the author does provide workable suggestions for change in each chapter. To mothers not working out-| side the home she says, get out-of-doors some everyday with your children, minimize your housework, and try to free yourself from the' exclusive servicing of your children’s physical needs, an arrangement depressing to both you and your child. The McGinnis book, Parenting for Peace and Justice, was inspired by their experiences raising a multiracial family and is based on a posi tion of Christian stewardship. Each chapter presents the authors’ ra tionale such as a stance for world peace, some basic principles for practicing the stance, and strategies for applying the principles of family life. Questions throughout the book give impetus for families to examine their material values, TV habits, racial and sexual stereo typing, and acceptance of violence. Strategies range from multi-cul turalizing books and toys in the home to inviting children to join parents in social action. The McGinnis’s are national coordinators for an ecumenical network of parents interested in integrating family life and social ministry.
