A Workshop ON Parenting Humanistically: Without the Assist

Sun 30 Mar, 3:30-5 pm. Society for Advancement of Judaism, 15 West 86th Street, New York, 10010. Michael Witkin, (212) 213-1002. The City Congregation for Humanistic Judaism - [email][events]

Is it easier to parent if God is part of the equation? Or easier for whom? The kids or their parents? If we don't rely on the concept of a watchful God in our lives, how do we instill in our children a sense of accountability and conscience? If we don't rely on a caring God to help us through hard times, how do we teach coping skills? If we don't believe in a heaven and a world to come, what do we teach about death and dying? Also, as we raise our children with secular humanistic values, how do we prepare them to go out into a world that is permeated by religious culture and language? TCC parents will share experiences and reflect on these questions and others. All ideas are welcome.
