Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
Says Joseph Chilton Pearce, author of The Biology of Transcendence, "This is no handy, hip-pocket quick reference guide to parenting, but is a remarkable, extraordinary work embracing a very wide knowledge tempered by the wisdom of years of experience. The Luvmours have brought us a unique and invaluable insight into the child’s mind and development which is every bit as valuable for the opening it simultaneously offers parents concerning their own personal understanding, abilities, and life-responses. By striving to be an optimal parent as outlined here, a new world can open for the parent as well as the child. The Luvmours’ concept of rhythms of learning goes beyond Piaget and fills critical gaps, while the various 'typing' of children's personality-learning styles is original, fresh, and enlightening. May this work be widely read and closely followed."

5.0 out of 5 stars
More than just a good parenting book!,
By A. S. K. (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Optimal Parenting: Using Natural Learning Rhythms to Nurture the Whole Child (Paperback)
I have read many of the parenting books out there and this one stands above the rest. It doesn't just address problems or difficulties but instead offers concrete examples and beautiful ways to nurture the well-being in my child, in my family, in society and in myself. I found this so refreshing. The book is beautifully written and infinitely deep in what it calls parenting. It offers great narratives, examples in case history form and really easy to understand tables that help tie everything together in one place. I can not recommend this book more for parents, teachers and professions alike.

Outstanding Book!,
By M. H. (Henderson, NV) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Optimal Parenting: Using Natural Learning Rhythms to Nurture the Whole Child (Paperback)
I have a 15yr old daughter that was really having a hard time. In reading this book, profound changes have taken place in myself and in my relationship with my daughter. Additionally, the way I relate to all children has changed as well. I feel this book has the potential to change future generations. Ba's website is a very helpful resource as well.
