Current Book
Hunt, Gather, Parent By Michaeleen Doucleff
Thank you to Dianna Soule for the recommendation.
“In this ground-breaking book, Dr. Michaeleen Doucleff looks back to our ancestors for solutions to our failing modern-day parenting theories.
When Dr Michaeleen Doucleff became a mother, she examined the studies behind modern parenting guidance and found that the evidence was frustratingly limited, and the conclusions often ineffective. She began to wonder if an opposite approach was needed – one founded on traditional wisdom, like the knowledge and experience passed down over hundreds, even thousands, of years within ancient cultures.
With her young daughter in tow, she travelled across the world to observe and practice parenting strategies alongside families in three of the world's most venerable communities: Maya families in Mexico, Inuit families above the Arctic Circle, and Hadza families in Tanzania.”
Book #1
Our first meeting is Thursday January 16th.
We will discuss chapters 1-2, please feel free to come even if you haven’t read the book.
There will be cookies :)
