Spoon-feeding Donna Burnett

The word "spoon-feeding" has suffered a negative reputation! Dr. Donna Burnett decided to promote the word's healthier meaning after her teacher announced one day that no one would be "spoon-fed" in his class. Most of us were spoon-fed as babies. That nourishment helped us to grow. This book illustrates spoon-feeding as both an art and a way of living. Spoon-feeding is an act of sharing hope or love or encouragement. It is an understanding that self-care is not selfish. The chapters share the author's personal and professional experiences and highlight how ordinary actions and words may have profound effects on others. Dr. Burnett practices spoon-feeding daily. Readers may discover that they practice spoon-feeding, too.
