Customer Reviews

Wonderful for new parents!

This is no ordinary childcare guide for new parents! It is based on 10 years of research and work conducted at the Gabriel Baby Centre in Melbourne. It follows the soul life of tiny babies through early childhood and contains a lot of practical advice, thoughtful insight and some activities and songs that recognizes the unique spiritual reality of each human being. It is beautifully written and uplifting to read. Long after your child is up and running around, you will continue to be awed by the mystery the whole process of birth and life offers to you as a parent. Highly recommended!

Practical Advice with a Spiritual Awareness

I first received this book from a friend who is a Waldorf School Teacher. It is full of practical advice on baby care together with "unconventional" information about child development and is a must for parents or caregivers open enough to consider that man (and hence babies!) originate in the spiritual world.

Help for your baby's incarnation process

This book is all about the process of incarnation of the baby's soul in the early years, and how you as a parent/carer can help or hinder the process. THe book is based on Rudolf Steiner's philospohy,but does not assume any knowledge of Steiner's work. It is a gem for me as a first time mother anxious to do whatever I can to make the incarnation process easier for my baby. There are so few sensible books on this subject, and it is full of practical advice on feeding, sleeping, rythm, colour, sound etc. A must for any parent with spiritual awareness, and still very helpful for those who just want some non-mainstream sensible practical advice.
