What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular in its approach to family bonding, though it exists within a series that sometimes carries Christian themes. There are no sensitive topics like death or divorce; the focus is exclusively on a stable, two-parent nuclear family. The resolution is joyful and reinforcing of traditional family structures.
