Empowering the child

Christina Katerina books are about a child who realizes the power she has over her own life and the consequences of weilding that power. All this is done in a gentle and low stress environment. Christina's mother let her realize the down side of being "on her own" while still being safe. She left the door open for Christina to re-enter the family and Christina finally learned that family is good too. Her mother did not desert her, she simply let the child find her own way back.
