Thermos, Vasilios, fr. Advice for the Healthy Education of Children Translation from Greek by Rev. Serban Tica On children, parents, and the contemporary world we live in. What kind of life do we live? The parents struggle – some in order to earn their living, others in order to accumulate wealth – in a world whose frantic pace barely allows them time for their family, for their beloved… for their children. To be together. To share their joys and troubles. To share their experience, values, life goals. The children, in their turn, are too often left alone to deal with a world luring them with the promises of consumption and gratification without responsibilities, surrounded not by the wisdom stemming from experience and healthy views, but by their parents’ fatigue, surfeit and weariness. A book grounded in the experience of a father, priest, psychiatrist and psychologist: Rev. Vasile Thermos, who in Athens and Harvard grafted the achievements of modern psychology and sociology onto the age-old tenets of the Christian revelation and the experience of the Orthodox Church. A book on inner health and maturity, and against routine, stereotypes, alienation. A book on sincerity and constant openness to change. A book on children’s education and parents’ growth. A book on spiritual realism and genuine pedagogy. Format: 13x20 cm; 264 p. ISBN: 978-973-136-153-6 “Orthodox Psychotherapy” «« back
