The education of children is a basic principle of the Baha'i Faith, which places particular emphasis on spiritual and moral education. This book presents the Baha'i Teachings on the subject and explores ways to put them into practice. It goes deeply into the spiritual teachings found in the Baha'i Writings, and it is also very practical in its approach to issues of concern to every parent. Among these are questions such as What are our aims in the education of our children? How can we give them a sense of purpose in life? How can we protect them while they young from the dangers of present-day society and still give them freedom to develop? What is meant by 'character training' and how can we go about it? How does the equality of men and woman affect our children in the home? What about families where one parent is a Baha'i and the other is not?
