Book Reviews of Heaven on Earth: A Handbook for Parents of Young Children
Book Review: brilliant hands-on manual with info other books lack
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a Christian mother with an academic career who has chosen to spend the first years of my children's lives with them. I am not into Waldorf, but this is a brilliant book. The peculiarly devout but religious-averse overlay of the book can easily be overlooked if you like; you can adapt what Oppenheimer says to your own worldview (and she certainly leaves room for this). I found the suggestions on how to create home rhythms and traditions invaluable. Suggestions here led me to give my three-year-old girl a real little hammer for her birthday, along with simple short nails with big heads and a few tree stumps -- to her great delight. I don't need a step-by-step manual for anything, just good ideas, so I love reading books for parents of young children from a wide range of perspectives -- but this has to be my favorite of all such books I've read so far in terms of quality and number of ideas. Lots of resource links in the back of the book are an extra plus! By the way, this is my first review on Amazon, because as a mother of little kids only a brilliant book could motivate me to dedicate time to writing a review. Thanks, Sharifa Oppenheimer!
