Love, Magic & Mudpies
Raising Your Kids to Feel Loved, Be Kind, and Make a Difference
by Bernie Siegel M.D.
Love,
Magic, & Mudpies was a fun read, despite its serious message:
Love your kids, love them no matter what. Each section has many entries,
and all of them end with "How to Make the Magic." These are mainly
tips or activities that you can do with your children, either individually
or as a group. This book contains many thoughts and tips on family,
children and spousal relationships, but the single parent is not forgotten.
Siegel’s personal experience with his own family, and his children’s
experiences with theirs, are sprinkled throughout the book. The anecdotes
make this book a very personal one by providing a good view into the
author’s family. Even though it may not be perfect, you’ve
got to work with what you’ve got.
I don’t want to sound cliché, but this is one book that should
be read when a family is started. It is easy to read because of
Siegel’s charming and endearing wit. The tone is not preachy, nor
does it put the reader down. I found this book to be a great guide
for what to do. Parenting isn’t easy, but this book can give you
hope.
