About this listen

Classic Taoist wisdom applied to the world of parenting, guiding mothers and fathers to meaningful conversations and relationships with their children.

William C. Martin has freshly reinterpreted the Tao Te Ching to speak directly and clearly to the most difficult of modern tasks—parenting. With its combination of free verse and judicious advice, The Parent's Tao Te Ching addresses the great themes that permeate the Tao and that support loving parent-child relationships: responding without judgment, emulating natural processes, and balancing between doing and being.

A masterpiece. William Martin captures the essence of what it means to raise a child. Urgently needed, this precious book lifts parenting to new heights.—Judy Ford, author of Wonderful Ways to Love a Child and Wonderful Ways to Be a Family.

This title is skillfully narrated by Mike Fraser, a listener favorite. Listeners of Parent's Tao Te Ching may also enjoy the audio editions of Couple's Tao Te Ching and Sage's Tao Te Ching, also narrated by Mike Fraser. This audiobook includes a selection of brief teachings from the author.

From this moment going forward I must be the change for the good of my Son. Thank you. It will be a challenge but an adventure nonetheless the less. Much love. Less is more. I have alerts though not knowing who ‘I Am’ was seen as a bad thing.

The realisation I must be the change
