I might be more influenced by this book since I have already read Swami Rama's other books like 'Living with Himalayan Masters'.

Being a father of 2 kids who are smart, very active and sensitive, I think in this book Swami Rama presents his observations and take on this in black and white.

I would have really like to have read this book before we decided to have kids, or at least as soon as we had the first one. It would have set the expectations straight and influenced things in the right way. I totally regret that I didn't.

This book really highlight show important being a parent is, how kids teach us to look beyond our materialistic, self-centered nature and how the whole generation and generation of kids are so dependent on today's parents. We were all kids, and in many ways still are, we often forget that.

Beware, how much you agree or disagree with the teachings (yes, teachings) in this book totally depends on where you are in your spiritual quest. This is not a book of instructions, tips and tricks that are temporary, rather a suggestion on permanent life style that will last forever, not just in bringing up kids, but in everything.
