highly recommended

Jean Liedloff, an American writer, spent two and a half years in the South American jungle living with Stone Age Indians. The experience demolished her Western preconceptions of how we should live and led her to a radically different view of what human nature really is. She offers a new understanding of how we have lost much of our natural well-being and shows us practical ways to regain it for our children and for ourselves.

An Amazing Book

I've read thousands of books discussing anthropology and ecological history, and this book is in my top 50. Beyond child rearing, this book offers profound insights on the differences between modern civilized people and the people of saner cultures. It gives us a stark look in the mirror.

Jean Liebloff's Continuum Concept is the best child-rearing book

After traveling around the world in 1979, we saw how children were raised in many different cultures. When it was time for us to start having children in 1980, my wife stummbled across "The Continuum Concept." We both read it and it was so consistent with what we liked in the children that we met in our travels. We raised two great children, we give this book to everyone we know who is having children, and now we get to give it to our oldest son who is expecting with his wife soon. This is the best child-rearing book ever.

A Better Way to Raise a Baby and Beyond

A must for all prospective parents and grandparents who want the best for their offspring.

My parenting bible

This book has been my parenting bible. I started applying its principles when my children were infants and toddlers. They are now 10, 13 and 15 and are happy, confident, competent, pleasant, cooperative, loving, in a way that I'd never seen in other families. I credit Jean Liedloff for her ideas which helped me achieve what I did with my daughters.

Contimuum Concept

This is a book everyone should read - not just parents. It is one womans account of the life of the Yequana Indians and how they interact with their children. It is not an insruction booklet or a scientific research project but it is worthy of attention. If you can get over the writing style which is a little old fashioned and look at the core message you will say - YES - deep down I know this to be true. THe only thing that this book will leave you dissatisified with is our poor Western Culture that really does our children and us a disservice.
