5.0 out of 5 stars Imperative reading for every parent!, October 14, 2006

This review is from: Parenting for a Peaceful World (Paperback)

This book is a vitally important source of guidance in the area of child/baby raising, and i feel very grateful to the author Robin Grille for sharing this deeply insightful knowledge with the world. I feel inspired and excited about the prospect of nurturing my child into a confident and deeply aware adult.

Although at times confronting, even disturbing, I found the descriptive, historical accounts of child raising throughout the ages particularly helpful towards my understanding of my own parents' and ancestors' childhoods, and this is what sets the book apart from all the other parenting books i have read. Its also inspirational to read how greatly parenting has improved and how much children's suffering has decreased as time has progressed. Robin describes in detail how we can step up to the next level in the evolution of parenting, and with this new understanding comes clarity, compassion, and the ability to allow the old rigid and harmful ways to effortlessly fall away from our parenting techniques. Its clear that this new advancement in parenting will not only evolve our species further but quite possibly, save it from self destruction.

Cheers,
Mariann

At Feb 07 there has been only 1 review. Shame, this man is a rising star. Beautifully researched and written, stunning in its revelations. Why has the world taken so long to produce such an expose on childhood trauma? I read it and bought multiple copies for family and friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Life Changing Book for Parents and Non Parents, January 17, 2010

This review is from: Parenting for a Peaceful World (Paperback)

This is the one of those books you can't put down. It has and is changing my life. I agree with all the other reviews so will just give you a few of the things that I got out of it:

It has left me with a great understanding of the world we live in and why people are the way we are and why with each generation - things generally get slightly better and a little easier going.

Specifically I understand and empathise much more with my own parents and my in laws, seeing how they have been shaped from their parent's style of parenting. This has then allowed me to know why my parents, parenting style has made me the person I am today...its freaky and refreshing to know that I have been programmed, but also now feel way more empowered to do some reprogramming.

Most importantly it has certainly changed many of my thoughts on parenting and has empowered to truly create an environment for our children to grow up peacefully and holistically without me messing it up and also be thrilled to actually build a genuine connection with my children without the hidden pressure to try to.

If you read it, you won't be disappointed.
