This book was recommended on two sites I visit every so often – detoxtheworld.com and kindlife.com. Because I am pregnant, and the book covers human nature at its core and how separated we have become from that, I decided to read it (it also covers natural child-raising in its own way). I have read quite a few books on raising children, and as the author states in this book, they are often working ‘against’ the child, trying to ‘train’ him or her to fit into what western society demands of a person. This include neglecting crying (or ‘training the baby to self-soothe), which harms the baby’s sense of security at a crucial point that will affect his/her thoughts for the rest of his/her life, dulling out important senses that become ‘edited out’ by the brain (sense of smell, acuity of hearing, ability to connect through the mind, acuity of vision, and ability to identify hundreds if not thousands of species of plants and animals without use of books) due to our not being encouraged to develop them.All in all, I found this book extremely informative and eye-opening to the magnificence that humans are in their ability to adapt the world around them, though when not raised with lots of love and security this adaptation can prove harmful to the human who will find other ways to feel secure. I highly recommend The Continuum Concept to anyone who expects to have children, is currently expecting or already has them.
