What is postmodernism, and how does this relate to you as a parent? 

Our children are growing up in a world that’s radically different than the one we knew as a child. In this postmodern culture, people discover and live out truth in new ways. Ms. DeMuth highlights the pitfalls of this worldview, and demonstrates how you can use it’s strengths to enhance your relationship with your children.

. What does postmodern parenting look like?

. Releasing children, embracing culture 

Within the pages of this book, Ms. DeMuth gives us several real life examples, as well as some stories that are fictitious, but could be true. Discussion questions are included at the end of the book, as well as footnotes.

 

If you are a parent, tired of trite answers, then perhaps you should consider picking up this book. Postmodernism, here in rural Arkansas is not something I’m extremely worried about, in fact I wasn’t real sure what the definition of postmodernism is, until I read this book. But someone in a larger city or a more modern state or country might find the pages more relevant than I. 234 pages. $12.99
