Parenting Book Brings Unique American Indian Concepts to Bringing Up Children

Keepers of the Children: Native American Wisdom and Parenting is the most heartfelt parenting book that I have ever read. It gets to the heart of parenting to help parents see what their role as keepers is really all about. I have never encountered a book that brings such vision to parenting. Even though it was published in 2004, the concepts in the book are generations ahead of their their time.

The book is unique in that it combines little known ideas from the Native American culture with modern psychology to teach parents how to raise children to be a genuine expression of their strengths and talents. This is method of parenting that deepens the bond between child and parent and makes the parent an essential part of the child's journey to discovering who he is and what he has to give to society. In a world in which some believe we are on the brink of destruction, raising children to bring their talents to the table is not only wise, it gives parents a visionary role in which the child becomes the disciple of the parent until he is ready to leave the nest and create a life of his own making.

This is a beautiful parenting book that will inspire and inform your parenting skills and help you raise a motivated child who will do good things in the world. No matter what your culture or religion, every parent should read this book. As the book urges, we are all stewards of the children and we must graciously accept our role in order to bring up a generation of kids who will make a marked difference in the way we live. The book is used on reservations and in parent education programs around the world.



"Keepers of the Children" (subtitle: Native American Wisdom and Parenting) uses little known American Indian secrets to teach parents how to bring up children to use their strengths to create lives of meaning and bring their talents to the table as adults. By raising children to discover what they love to do, parents connect more authentically with their kids. By showing children the secrets of real fulfillment, kids grow up to lead meaningful lives and will cherish their parents for this gift. This lays the groundwork for a parent-child bond based on love and mutual respect.
