Peaceful Parenting: Native American Wisdom (PeaceTalks Radio Series)
From: Good Radio Shows, Inc.
Series: Peace Talks Radio - Series of Half-Hours
Length: 29:01
On this program, the third in our Peace Talks series on Peaceful Parenting, we talk with Laura Ramirez, author of the book "Keepers of the Children: Native American Wisdom and Parenting." Ramirez' husband is a member of the Pasquayaki Tribe. In her book, she uses little known Native American concepts and teaching stories to show parents how to raise children to unfold the gifts within their hearts. By teaching children how to create fulfilling lives, she says, parents deepen their sense of satisfaction with their own. She offers observations on the challenge of raising bi-racial children. Carol Bost hosts the program.

Review of Peaceful Parenting: Native American Wisdom (PeaceTalks Radio Series)
This piece is a straight forward book author interview. Ramirez' strongest example of Native American discipline and dealing with conflict comes at the piece end, in the discussion of the Talking Stick. I would have preferred to hear other concrete examples of specific techniques or tools, and to have them earlier in the piece. Yet, the author is well spoken and reflects the humanity and thoughtfulness she wants the listener to bring to child rearing. At about 6 minutes I got restless, but I let it pass and the half hour flew by.
