This is the way I'm raising my kids and the reason I wrote the book. Thank you so much for the review, Tiffany ... I just happened to find it on the web and appreciate it very much.

Parenting is one of the aspects of modern life which can greatly benefit from the wisdom of old. Although almost all parent wishes the best for their children, not all know the way to achieve it. I will definitely check this out. Very intriguing. Parenting is one of the aspects of modern life which can greatly benefit from the wisdom of old.

Years ago, yes, but now days adults are the ones who go. It isn't like you go out and visit various places (I've never read the book) and people do know where you are. I've heard of this book but haven't read it. I'm glad it made you think of all these things! :) I've always been surprised when I talk to others about parenting. I've raised my kids how my family raises kids - something passed on down the years that I take for granted when I realize there are books being written about it! I need to get on that manuscript. ;) In regards to a vision quest, teenagers are not typically sent out. Years ago, yes, but now days adults are the ones who go.

I majored in Native American studies and, like you, have been very interested in the way of life. I am so excited to find a book with wisdom in parenting. I just love your blog!

I am reading it right now, and there are a lot of similar ideas but in the classroom setting. It details the growth of a teacher in L.A. as he realizes HOW to teach. He emphasizes how important it is to get children to develope a sense of morality and consideration for others (level 6 as he defines it), because it is right, not as a result of fear or wanting to please someone. Thanks for the recommendation and I hope you will look into the book I have named.

I signed up for an "Ancient Wilderness Living Skills" class when I was in college and loved it. I think it's something we should all know about. There are lots of elements we can teach our children. tks! Sounds like another great book recommendation.
