Bernie Siegel, MD

Bernie (the name he prefers to be called) has written a delightfully practical book about loving and allowing our children to create lives that will foster creativity, independence and caring.  LOVE, MAGIC AND MUDPIES is a plethora of sage advice for any parent who wants to fashion children who feel good about themselves, are able to find their place in the world and make a difference for humanity.  He explained that people who are not nice often are not loved as children and they fear rejection.  That fear of rejection makes them strike out at those who love them.  They know they will be rejected so any rejection must be on their own terms they need to behave badly so that the person they want acceptance from wont see them and reject them for the person they are at their core.
