Product Description
Optimal Parenting guides parents to create well-being at all stages of their children's lives. It fills a void in parenting books by focusing on nurturing the whole child. It will appeal to anyone devoted to helping his or her children fulfill their potential, parents who want to be on the same "parenting page," and families who desire the strengths and skills to face life’s challenges together.

Optimal Parenting shows you how to use Natural Learning Rhythms—a comprehensive, thoroughly researched, easy-to-understand system of child development and family dynamics—to create environments for optimal well-being. Combining compelling insights with practical applications, and based on 25 years of experience, Natural Learning Rhythms is poised to be the parenting style for cultural creatives. This parenting approach addresses the emotional, physical, and spiritual development of the whole individual. Inspired by the wisdom that resides in each of us, Natural Learning Rhythms is a practical, yet transformative, vision that promotes greater depth and meaning in family relationships and helps children communicate with the adults in their lives.

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!, June 30, 2006
By A. S. K. (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Book!, January 26, 2007
By M. H. (Henderson, NV) - See all my reviews
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.
