Product Description
From Amazon
In The Seven Spiritual Laws for Parents: Guiding Your Children to Success and Fulfillment, healer and philosopher Deepak Chopra follows up on his runaway bestseller, The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, by extending and reinterpreting his spiritual laws for parents. "From the day your baby is born, you are a teacher of spirit," Chopra writes. "Look upon spirituality as a skill in living, since that is what it is. I believe in imparting these skills as early as possible by whatever means a child can understand." To meet this end, Chopra translates his own "laws" so that even the youngest child can comprehend them. For instance, Chopra's First Law, "The source of all creation is pure consciousness ... pure potentiality seeking expression from the unmanifest to the manifest," translates as "everything is possible." In his wise and deceptively simple program (focusing each day of the week on one of the seven laws), Chopra suggests ways for parents to teach children truly spiritual values by incorporating spiritual goals into family life. --Ericka Lutz

From Library Journal
Chopra, the best-selling inspirational author and director of the Chopra Center for Well-being, turns his attention here to teaching morality and spirituality to children. Reframing his spiritual laws (The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, LJ 5/1/95), he suggests ways parents can incorporate them into the upbringing of their children. He suggests devoting one day each week to each principle and gives examples of age-appropriate activities for children to foster the learning of these laws and the development of the child's spirituality. This book will appeal primarily to parents who have read Chopra's other books or who watch him on public television. Recommended for public libraries where Chopra's other books circulate.?Kay L.

Excellent Ideas for Creating a Spiritual Foundation,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Seven Spiritual Laws for Parents: Guiding Your Children to Success and Fulfillment (Hardcover)
I was aware that I wanted some guidance to focus on the spiritual aspects of my child's development. This book offers such a guide. It is not meant to be the concise book on parenting. Parenting, like everything in life, is a continuing journey of discovery, and different books and resources provide for different areas of that development. This book has heaps of ideas for incorporating simple activities in your life to introduce spiritual principles to your family. The information was incredible for developing my own awareness so I'm very excited about sharing it with my child, partner, and extended family - and learning even more myself in the process!

A Treasure,
By Chetan Kapoor (Montreal, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Seven Spiritual Laws for Parents: Guiding Your Children to Success and Fulfillment (Paperback)
The book is a treasure, wonderfully written, and details easy steps on how to implement seven spritual laws in lives of our children. I have been practising by telling my daughter every day, one spiritual law - as a lesson of the day.

a nice message, but not all it's cracked up to be,

This review is from: The Seven Spiritual Laws for Parents: Guiding Your Children to Success and Fulfillment (Hardcover)
I'm generally not one for self help books because I think the majority of them are money making endeavors that offer little real help. I've heard about Chopra for years, perhaps the most known doctor in America besides Dr. Spock. I've picked up his books many times to be greeted by the perfect family shot of him, his wife and handsome son. For some reason I never could bring myself to read him. So finally, I bit the bullet and read The Seven Laws for Parents. I feel guilty criticizing a book with such noble intentions. I mean, who can criticize a book that espouses spending thoughtful time with your children and family, encourages being thoughtful and considerate, and asks us all to foster our spiritual being and self? For this message, I certainly do not fault Chopra. No one would. But do I think that he has anything unique to say or that by summarizing our lives into seven laws all our parenting woes are gone? Certainly not. These books have a popular appeal because they are simply written, teach good values, and provide some concrete advice for parents. But somewhere along the line, I feel betrayed by the "industry" of Chopra, his institutes, seminars and programs. This book contains many fairly obvious points - I guess I'd call it "parenting 101 light." Nothing bad about it, but nothing special either. Perhaps the word "oversimplification" sums it up best. It's a 20 minute read at best and could just as easily be found in Cosmo Magazine as in book form. It's the reader's digest version or the classic comics of real literature, but at least its message is worthwhile. Don't get me wrong -- parents can benefit from following the practices in this book. The success of this book and his other 7 habit book shows that many are just looking for a quick 7 step solution to solving their problems. This the book will not do.
