How Do We Relate to Our Children?  New Resource Reaches Parents

The book’s author and director of Nazareth School of Nursing, Amal Merizian Khazin, has her Ph.D. in

Nursing from the University of Illinois, with a specialty in maternal/child nursing.

Dr. Amal Khazin’s new book, includes chapters on communication, behavior modification, school achievement, sibling rivalry, fear, and relations with extended family.

Released in March, this book compliments Dr. Khazin’s first parenting book, which focuses on adolescence. Both books grew out of a series of parenting workshops led by Dr. Khazin and her nursing students as part of their community outreach. Written in Arabic with culturally relevant examples, these books are able to reach parents with the freeing message that they are not alone, and that other parents have similar problems with their children.

For this project, Nazareth Project Inc. received two publication grants of $5,000 each from Tyndale House Fdn., IL and Sparkplug Fdn., NY. As with the first book, all proceeds from sales will go back to the nursing school, which plans to use its new seminar room and auditorium (when completed) to host parenting seminars, workshops, and discussion groups on these topics.  Now available on Amazon.com, these resources will reach a wider readership in the Arabic language.
