Synopsis
Welcome to this third edition of genesis, a book I first wrote almost thirty years ago, originally aimed at educators working in boarding schools. Over the years, however, many parents have commented to me how the content actually helped them raise their children. Generations may come and go, and children may be faced with new challenges every day in this wild new world we live in, but the basic core principles and benefits of a sound, well-rounded education do not change.
I encourage educators, be they parents, school teachers, sports coaches or anyone involved with children or adolescents, to take on their role with enthusiasm, constancy, courage and fortitude. Not all kids are easy to get along with, but we’re not called to like them all, but to love them all.
Special thanks to Fr. Benjamin Clariond for encouraging this third edition. And I hope your reading of it will help both you and your kids.
