Books

If we want to change the future in a better way we should change the way we raise our children. I found a book which opened my mind. So I would like to recommend it to people expecting or already having a baby.

Jean Liedloff "The continuum concept"

And another one: Lee Carroll/Jan Tober "The indigo children"

Future depends on our children and us, especially on the way we reise them))
