Guilt-Free Parenting is a series of 7 talks which is very flexible and can be used in several ways. It addresses directly the relevance of Baptism, Reconciliation and Eucharist as opportunities to build and nourish family life. The talks are a mixture of teaching and moving stories which arouse and develop questions that can be discussed in small groups.
By using Scripture, doctrine ands some contemporary spiritual writers, this series attempts to relate the day to day challenge of parenthood and the guidance that the Church offers. It is not a catechism or a summary of Catholic teaching and it does not assume that all parents are Catholics.
Talk 1: Who would be a parent?
Talk 2: Why bother with baptism?
Talk 3: Confession - do they still do that?
Talk 4: The Mass - do we need it?
Talk 5: How do children believe?
Talk 6: How can parents help?
Talk 7: Parents for life!
The talks have been professionally recorded and last approximately 35 minutes each.
There is also a leaders manual available
David Wells is married to Alison and they have three children. He was a Senior Teacher at a Catholics School in the East Midlands. Now he is the Director of RE in the Plymouth Diocese and speaks throughout the UK and internationally. David's vision is to offer the support and encouragement that parents need to recognise how valuable they are. He hopes, above all else, that this series will encourage, affirm, and challenge parents in creative and unthreatening ways.
