52 Weeks of Fun Family Service
by Merrilee Boyack Author
An exerpt from the book: "Children naturally begin their lives as very egocentric beings. This helps them survive. They are small and concerned with who will take care of them, feed them, and clothe them. As they get older, they gain an increasing awareness of the world around them and--hopefully--begin to change and lose that self-centerdness. We can help them move through the process more quickly if we are aware of this natural progression. To help them through the process, we teach and train in the home, but we must also deal with what goes on OUTSIDE the home--namely, a society that is obsessed with materialism and self-absorption, and a culture that constantly demands 'more' and 'better.'
