Compassionate Souls : Raising the Next Generation to Change the World

How we raise children to be compassionate, and healthy individuals in a world that is stressful, commercialized and violent is a challenge we all face. Educator, parent and activist JoAnn Farb offers practical suggestions on raising your children to honor your values and not those dictated by advertisers and corporations. Farb shows you how you can create an environment where your children think for themselves, deliver sound judgements, and make thoughtful choices. She presents vital information on giving your children the best start in life: from conscious pregnancy, to giving birth with the minimum of medical intervention, breastfeeding, playing, living in community, and making informed decisions about vaccination and homeschooling.
