RHYTHMIC PARENTING
Today, children are entering a world that values speed and efficiency above all else, the opposite of what they need to become human beings. Our materialist, hi-tech culture fails to support children through their primary task in the first seven years—forming the physical body. Instead, it creates little adults who are prematurely intellectualized, uneasy in their bodies, and ill-prepared to become physically strong, emotionally resilient, freethinking individuals. To bridge the gap, this book:
- Educates parents about the consciousness of a young child who lovingly absorbs all impressions from the environment to develop as a physical being;
- Alerts parents to intense impressions such as screen use, academic learning and adultification bias that are hard for children to assimilate;
- Awakens parents to understand difficult behaviours as manifestations of undigested impressions; and
- Empowers parents to create a healthy rhythm of growth by preventing intense ‘inbreaths’ as well as balancing these with ‘outbreaths’ such as time in nature, free play, chores and plentiful rest.
Rhythmic Parenting reclaims children’s right to fulfil their highest human potential and places parents at the forefront of this mission.
