Heaven on Earth

As we see a shift of old forms that were once the foundations of our daily lives, parentsâ€”who must prepare the next generation to meet the changing worldâ€”have more questions today than ever before. Although our cultural values and family structures may change, it is the atmosphere in the home that continues to form the foundation of a childâ€™s life. In Heaven on Earth, parent and educator Sharifa Oppenheimer reveals how parents can make the home environment warm, lively, loving, and consistent with their highest ideals. Heaven on Earth balances a theoretical understanding of child development with practical ideas, resources, and tips that can transform family life. Readers will learn how to create the regular life rhythms needed to establish a foundation for learning; how to design indoor play environments that allow children the broadest development of skills; and how to create outdoor play spaces that encourage vigorous movement and a wide sensory palette. Through art, storytelling, and the festival celebrations, this book is an invaluable guide to building a â€œfamily cultureâ€ based on the guiding principle of loveâ€”a culture that supports children and encourages the free development of each unique soul.
