Summary: The true woman's liberation
Comment: I truly hope this wonderful book crosses over into the "main-stream" of Parenting because collectively we are ready to reclaim what is ours.
As mothers and as parents we can now understand that our first instincts to mother and nurture our children are critical to the development of a healthy and funcrtional family-- despite what the our current conventions teach us. How liberating it is for me as a woman and a mother of two to know that what she feels deep in her heart is really what is supposed to be there. Love, support, compassion, and the endless capacity to give which is inherrant in our maternal natures.
This book gives us the power to integrate what we know to be right. The authors of this book simply reinforce what we already know deep in our own beings: trust what nature does--its only natural. From reclaiming our right to a natural, drug freee childbirth to sparing our sons the cruel physical deformation know as circumscion to consturctive discipline which takes into consideration what the child really needs to grow and evovle and become a healthy person. Its ALL in this book.
This book is VERY very readable, I could barely put it down. It is a must have for any family and would make a perfect gift for any mother, at any stage of her life.
You can't go wrong with this book, even if you don't agree with 100% of what it says, it will broaden your perspective and open your mind to new ideas which are not so much new but in fact time-tested.
This book contains true pearls of wisom and most importantly it is pratical and real. And its about time.

Summary: Great Book with a few reservations
Comment: Most of this book is wonderful. I LOVE Peggy and love Mothering magazine. This book is a great guide for natural and attachment parenting. I only have a few reservations. I felt the section on public schooling was very biased against. The section on home schooling, however, was nothing but glowing. I felt these sections could have been more balanced.
Also, as a Lactation Consultant I was upset that the book told mothers they could control the amount of phenylketonurics a baby received by manipulating her own diet. This is untrue and could be harmful to the baby who cannot process PKU.
Aside from these few flaws, this is a truly beautiful book and will help a new generation of mothers nurture their children.

Summary: I love this book!
Comment: I have two parenting books I thoroughly enjoy, and this is one of them (Dr. Sears "The Baby Book" is the other). I am trying very hard to be a great attachment parent, and so far, I agree with everything I've read in this book. Great overviews on a wide variety of topics.
