Description
The power to act is two-sided in that it refers to the parent's ability to initiate (having children or responding to their actions) and to the ability to suffer consequences (irreversibility and unpredictability). The book argues that the best way of responding to these essential limits is for the parent to develop the interrelation between wisdom, ethicality and self-mastery, that is, practical wisdom.
