- Summary:
- Steeped in the Buddhist traditions of wisdom, compassion, and the interconnectedness of all things, Tibetan childrearing practices are a refreshing new way for Westerners to prepare for and raise children. The Tibetan Art of Parenting provides a practical introduction to these practices and an integrated system of childcare that incorporates body, emotions, mind, spirit, relationships, and environment. Covering all aspects of traditional Tibetan parenting from conception onward, this book explores ancient techniques and reinterprets them for a modern audience.
- Far more than just a parenting guide, The Tibetan Art of Parenting is a fascinating look into an intimate and revered part of Tibetan culture. It is essential reading for anyone interested in a practical approach to parenthood that recognizes the communal responsibility in parenting - to one's child, self, and planet.
