Simpler And Less Stressful Parenting For Happier, Better Adjusted Kids
While working and travelling in Asia and Central America, Sydney teacher Gaia Grant was struck by how the children she saw on her travels seemed happier, better adjusted and able to shoulder more responsibilities than most kids at home. Intrigued, and with their first baby on the way, she and her husband set out to discover some of their secrets.
Touching, feeding, sleep, discipline, play and education are just some of the issues Gaia Grant discusses. At each turn she encourages us to stop and think, before we consult the textbooks, about our own philosophy of parenting.
For parents of young children and parents-to-be, 'The Rhythm of Life' is a breath of fresh air, showing us how to explore our parental instincts and gain the confidence to follow them - to find a "rhythm, a beat" - even when they seem at odds with the rules and regulations set down by modern parenting methods.
