InThe Artist's Way for Parents,Cameron helps parents unleash their children's creativity and sense of wonder. —BookPage

Winner of the 2014 Nautilus Award represents “Better Books for a Better World”—the Gold Award (Best Book of the Year) in the category of Parenting/Family.

According to Cameron, “Every child is creative—and every parent is creative. Your child requires joy, and exercising creativity, both independently and together, makes for a happy and fulfilling family life.” Focusing on parents and their children, newborn through age twelve,The Artist’s Way for Parentsbuilds on the foundation ofThe Artist’s Wayand shares it with the next generation. The spiritual concepts and practical tools in this book will guide parents as they steer their children gently to greater creativity.The Artist’s Way for Parentsprovides an ongoing spiritual toolkit that parents can enter—and reenter—at any pace and at any point in their children’s early years.  Using checklists and personal exercises, the book focuses on empowering parents to be creative under the premise that children will model their behavior on that of their parents. The reminders to look for joy and wonder may be revelatory for Cameron's readers and their kids.
Publishers Weekly

While Cameron's methods have plenty of applications for children, her experience lies in the effects of childhood on creativity, which applies to adults too. The book is as much about examining what sort of parent you are (and how creativity was – or wasn't – encouraged in your own childhood) as it is about providing ideas. I'm not sure this book is so much for parents as for anyone who has been a child.
