Synopsis

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. This parenting approach addresses the emotional, physical, and spiritual development of the whole child. Inspired by the force 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.

This book guides parents to create well-being at all stages of their children's lives. 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.

Optimal Parenting fills a void in parenting books by focusing on well-being, relationship, and 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.

About this title

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."
