What Parenting Experts are Saying About “Family”

"In no way can I praise Schiffer's work sufficiently. He brings not just a breath of fresh air in a stagnating environment of thought, but seeds of a genuine biological-spiritual revolution. In the most natural, conversational, easy-reading way, Schiffer offers us the heart of James Prescott's and Michel Odent's life-work. Were there some way in which both  "How to be A Family" and "How to be the Best Lover" could be actual texts for all high school students, crime and violence would disappear within one generation. I will surely do all possible to promote these two gems. Howard - I congratulate you. Brilliant work. Don't stop." Joseph Chilton Pearce, author of Magical Child, The Biology of Transcendence, and The Crack in the Cosmic Egg

"How To Be A Family” is a brilliant gem of a book that, very simply, every parent must read. In a straight-forward, honest, personal and heart-warming way Howard Schiffer has created a guide-book to parenting that goes thankfully well beyond the traditional into real-life wisdom you'll treasure and refer to again and again." Kathy Nenneker, Editor, New Parent magazine

"The world needs a book (and more) on how to restore the family to the center of humanity. How To Be A Family is a significant contribution to this effort and should be read by all those concerned with the human family as the cradle for human love and the future of humanity. The central message of this book ‘What it all comes down to, in the end, is your connection with your family’ and ‘All you have to do is be there’ is a reality that we all seek.” James W. Prescott, President, BioBehavioral Systems & Director, Institute of Humanistic Science, Scientific Director of award winning film, Rock A Bye Baby.

"What a GREAT gift this book is to the whole parenting community, it should be required reading for anyone who wants to become a parent. "How to Be a Family" is a guide for new and expectant parents that will help them to better understand the needs of their children, following each step as they season naturally. This book is written in such a thoughtful, caring and thorough way. A valuable resource for parents everywhere." Michele Mason, mother of three, Educator and Founder of the Child-Friendly Initiative, Inc.

"Written with tenderness, clarity, wit and sensitivity, and full of sound common sense." Sheila Kitzinger, author of The New Pregnancy & Childbirth, The Complete Book of Pregnancy and Childbirth, and The Experience of Childbirth

"Amid the growing number of superficial or tongue-in-cheek books about what it means to raise children, this book shines like a diamond. “Family” takes even the most casually interested reader on a journey into the essence of creating family life. I would like every expectant parent to be given this book. “How To Be A Family” contains the essence of what ‘family values’ is really about – holding your family in the highest regard. Excellent." Suzanne Arms, author of Immaculate Deception and President of Birthing The Future
