These deep connections with life are woven together during childhood to become the wholeness we call “I.”

Parents, educators, and everyone who has ever loved and cared for a child will find research, humor, wisdom, and a new paradigm that marries ageless wisdom with the new science of the human brain and heart.

Reviews

“Friends, parents, educators, read this inspiring book. Sharifa’s research offers a rare and compelling marriage of the science of facts and figures and the science of the heart.”—Cynthia Aldinger, author, Life Is the Curriculum, and founder of LifeWays North America

She brings forward valuable current research and applies it directly to ways of being with children in an honoring and deeply loving way that empowers their growth as resilient, coherent and empathetic human beings.”—Carla Hannaford, PhD, biologist, international educational consultant, author of Smart Moves and Playing in the Unified Field
