Amazon.com Review

In The Seven Spiritual Laws for Parents: Guiding Your Children to Success and Fulfillment, healer and philosopher Deepak Chopra follows up on his runaway bestseller, The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, by extending and reinterpreting his spiritual laws for parents. "From the day your baby is born, you are a teacher of spirit," Chopra writes. "Look upon spirituality as a skill in living, since that is what it is. I believe in imparting these skills as early as possible by whatever means a child can understand." To meet this end, Chopra translates his own "laws" so that even the youngest child can comprehend them. For instance, Chopra's First Law, "The source of all creation is pure consciousness ... pure potentiality seeking expression from the unmanifest to the manifest," translates as "everything is possible." In his wise and deceptively simple program (focusing each day of the week on one of the seven laws), Chopra suggests ways for parents to teach children truly spiritual values by incorporating spiritual goals into family life. --Ericka Lutz

From Library Journal

Chopra, the best-selling inspirational author and director of the Chopra Center for Well-being, turns his attention here to teaching morality and spirituality to children. Reframing his spiritual laws (The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, LJ 5/1/95), he suggests ways parents can incorporate them into the upbringing of their children. He suggests devoting one day each week to each principle and gives examples of age-appropriate activities for children to foster the learning of these laws and the development of the child's spirituality. This book will appeal primarily to parents who have read Chopra's other books or who watch him on public television. Recommended for public libraries where Chopra's other books circulate.?Kay L.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Ideas for Creating a Spiritual Foundation, November 1, 2001

By A Customer

I was aware that I wanted some guidance to focus on the spiritual aspects of my child's development. This book offers such a guide. It is not meant to be the concise book on parenting. Parenting, like everything in life, is a continuing journey of discovery, and different books and resources provide for different areas of that development. This book has heaps of ideas for incorporating simple activities in your life to introduce spiritual principles to your family. The information was incredible for developing my own awareness so I'm very excited about sharing it with my child, partner, and extended family - and learning even more myself in the process!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent spiritfilled insights - useful!, October 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Seven Spiritual Laws for Parents:: Guiding Your Children to Success and Fulfillment (Audio Cassette)

This book is wonderful for parents and even mentors who would like to approach instilling discipline in a spirit centered way. Discipline is not a dirty word. It is instruction not destruction.

5.0 out of 5 stars What else is there?, May 12, 2009

By	Nicole Faustino "Ink Angel" (Southern California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Seven Spiritual Laws for Parents: Guiding Your Children to Success and Fulfillment (Chopra, Deepak) (Paperback)

What else is there in this world to instill into our children if it isnt this? This book was incredibly powerful for me, I suggested all the adults in my houshold read it, as they are influencing my children as well.. So simple, yet so profound at the same time. If every person in the world incorporated just ONE of theses principles into their daily lives, the world would be a VASTLY different, better place. Thank the stars for Deepak Chopra and his wisdom and insight into the nature of spirit.
