Teaching The Attraction Principle To Children - Practical Strategies for Parents and Teachers To Help Children Manifest a Better World Authors: Thomas Haller & Chick Moorman Personal Power Press 2008 ISBN #978-0-9772321-6-1 At first glance, this book may seem to be based on a very grandiose premise. If you think so, think again. Think back to the time when you were a child. All kinds of things were important to you, and most often you had no clue how to manifest anything. And you really had no idea about the connection between living your life well (i.e. according to your parents rules!) and achieving your goals. This is what Haller (founder and director, Healing Minds Institute) and Moorman (director of the Institute For Personal Power) address, and address well - helping parents and teachers communicate to the children in their lives how they can have control over their lives, how they can manifest their goals, and how their efforts make a difference in the world. I loved the graphic on the cover of this book - four children's hands, from different ethnic backgrounds, collectively holding up a globe of the world. Yes - the future of the world is in the hands of our children. They are our future leaders, our future scientists, our future community builders. The gift of teaching them the Attraction Principle can only build a better, stronger world. Haller and Moorman present practical strategies for parents and teachers to teach children how to manifest a better world. This dual focus is the one quibble that I have with the book - each sections presents strategies for parents on a certain topic, and then covers the same territory for teachers, in a slightly different manner. Yes, the environments are different - one in the home, the other in the classroom. And yes, one deals with a limited amount of children, while the other deals with classrooms of children, but I was still left with slight whiplash that I found a bit annoying. In his introduction, author Jack Canfield ("Chicken Soup For The Soul", as well as a presenter on the DVD "The Secret") notes that this book answers a question that he is often asked - and that is "What is the best way to teach children about "The Secret" - the law of attraction, and how it works." Through Haller and Moorman's work, parent's and teachers are shown not only how to teach the principles of living an intentional, purpose-filled life, and creating the results that you want, but they are also shown how to facilitate their application. The stated intent of this book is to take real life situations and apply the Attraction Principle. The book is divided into two sections - Section One describes the Attraction Principle, defines it, and explains the conscious creating process. The focus here is on the importance of thoughts, beliefs, emotions and expectations. Here the reader will learn how to harness the power of intent. Section Two focuses on practical strategies to help teach children how to use the Attraction Principle in their own lives. There is an extensive bibliography at the end of the book, as well as a listing of other products for parents and teachers. Through the stories and examples presented in this book, it becomes an excellent guide for using the Attraction Principle to help children discover their own power, and the power inherent in living an authentic life. © April 2008 Bonnie Cehovet Personal Lifestyle Reading - I offer a Personal Lifestyle Reading using Tarot that looks at past, present and future influences in your life, at the energies that are currently available to help you along your path, and at those energies that are appearing as challanges.
