Parenting Beyond Belief is a good book to recommend to any parent religious
or secular.  I get the feeling as I read it that it is not only parents
that must read it, but everyone because it explains so many issues that
apply to all ages.  GOOD STUFF!

This is the kind of book you keep on your nightstand and refer to often!

*How can children be moral without religion?*

*Both books have chapters devoted to this very topic. Behaving morally makes
sense, and most people behave well for sensible reasons—even if they think
they are relying on commandments. Psychologist Dr. Jean Mercer contributed
an essay in PBB describing the six stages of moral development. Children are
more likely to move to the higher levels of development and to retain a more
nuanced and reliable moral sense if they learn the reasonable principles of
ethical behavior than if they rely on parental or scriptural authority.*
