Product Description
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.

 A Better Way to Raise a Baby and Beyond June 18, 2008
A must for all prospective parents and grandparents who want the best for their offspring.
Jean Liebloff's Continuum Concept is the best child-rearing book May 21, 2008
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.
An Amazing Book May 17, 2008
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.
Amazing.. I've lost sleep over this book May 12, 2008
even though I carried my second child everywhere with me, I still have lost sleep over this book.. I am stunned how we are all so conditioned & condition our children in this world. I was slightly aware of this concept before I read this book, but have now become more intrigued and fully aware of how society is blinded on raising children.
A must read for all parents, grandparents and parents to be, It will change your way of thinking forever.
Brilliant developmental psychology. Gorgeous work. April 17, 2008
Don't let anyone, including your doctor, tell you that it's fine to let your infant remain in a raging cry for hours on end, else you risk raising them as "spoiled." This book puts that argument to rest. Read it, and understand that, from the moment of birth, our life is about seeking the completely effortless bond we had with our mother prior to being dropped into vertical, competitive civilization. Should be required reading for every parent on earth.
