Overall, this is an interesting book. The frequent insertions of Native American practice are a welcomed innovation.
Book Description
As a parent, what is your greatest hope? Think about it for a moment ...
If you imagined the best possible outcome for you and your child, what would you foresee? If you could raise your child to lead a life of joy and meaning, would you feel fulfilled?
In Keepers of the Children, Laura Ramirez uses little known Native American concepts and teaching stories to show parents how to raise children to know their nature and use their strengths to create lives of meaning and contribution. By raising children to unfold the gifts within their hearts, parents touch the essence of your own. In this way, parenting is a process of becoming for child and parent.
In "Keepers of the Children," you will learn:
* How to encourage your child's uniqueness and set him upon the path of purpose from the start.
* How to teach your child to act from integrity and strength.
* The true meaning of discipline: How to teach your child to make life-affirming choices on her own.
* How a knowledge of nature teaches your child the basics of psychology so she will avoid the traps of peer pressure and those who intend to do her harm.
* All about child development and *your* development as a parent.
* Why parenting is a path of personal growth for child and parent.
* How to create a lifelong, mutually fulfilling relationship with your child.
