Description
The Continuum Concept offers a fresh approach to parenting, one that draws on the instinctive nurturing of our ancient relatives. By adopting a more natural and intuitive approach to childcare, parents can help their children develop physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Author Jean Liedloff spent two and a half years living with indigenous tribes in South America, where she observed the unique ways in which children are raised. Her experiences led her to conclude that essential child-rearing techniques, such as touch, trust, and community, have been undermined in modern times. This book provides practical guidance on how to regain these natural well-being principles, not just for children, but also for parents themselves.
