Baha'i mom and poet Andrea Hope dispels some myths about being a primary caregiver. The resources for this episode are as follows:Quote: With reference to the question of the training of children:6 given the emphasis placed by Bahá’u’lláh and ‘Abdu’l-Bahá on the necessity for the parents to train their children while still in their tender age, it would seem preferable that they should receive their first training at home at the hand of their mother, rather than be sent to a nursery. Should circumstances, however, compel a Bahá’í mother to adopt the latter course there can be no objection.

The resources for this episode are as follows:How often have well-organized Bahá’í children’s classes given parents, even those who are not Bahá’ís, the incentive to learn more and study more deeply the Teachings of the Faith! How often have the children, through their songs and recitation of prayers during Feasts and at other gatherings of the friends, added luster and inspiration to the program and created a true sense of belonging to the community in the hearts of those present! How many are the children who have grown into active and enkindled youth, and later into wholly dedicated adults, energetically supporting the work of the Cause and advancing its vital interests! 25 May 1975 from the Universal House of Justice Living the Life: Have Children Contribute to Feast Resource: Mine Rich in Gems - 19 Day Feast Pages for Kids Andrea's Etsy Shop:https://www.etsy.com/shop/AndreaHopeOrgFacebook: @tomotherwithandreahopeEmail: info@andreahope.orgWebsite: www.andreahope.org
