Education: From Before Birth to Maturity
The same material in an IdeaGram format. These were taken from the teachings of Sufi Master Hazrat Inayat Khan. The approach is loving, gentle and practical. I wish I had it when my son was an infant !! I found this book when he was around 10 years old and I used it as a guide as he matured. It was extremely practical and helpful. I refer to it now as I watch my granddaughters pass through these stages of life.
