Modern parenting approaches or just an old human wisdom

I have borrowed this post from my dh's blog but i couldn't agree more...

It's strange that we learn so much stuff during our school years, but never the important stuff such as how to raise kids, balance life, deal with stress, live healthy life or how to involve in relationships. Here are the 10 evolutionary principles that are worth considering. And recently most of the points have been researched using MRI scans and other techniques. You will find the scientific support for those principles in The Science of Parenting by Margot Sunderland. You will learn a lot about your kid, yourself and your brain.

1. Sleep with your children (reduces risk of cot death-SIDS, they sleep better, and provides intimate bonding).
2. Breast feed your children until they naturally stop (about age three). This helps their brain development, their immune system, their emotional bonding, and helps prevent the mother from menstruating and becoming pregnant again. Studies also show that the less menstrual cycles a women has the lower the risk of breast and cervical cancer (women did not evolve to have many periods as they were either breastfeeding or pregnant).
3. Feed yourself and your children what you evolved to eat - a variety of organic fruit, vegetables, nuts, fish, meat, less cereals and clean rain water / earth water with earth minerals.
4. Read and tell stories to your children.
5. Play games (and laugh / have fun) every day with your children. (We evolved to play as a way of learning social skills.)
6. Avoid TV.
7. Don’t work full time while you are raising children - they are a beautiful part of your life and they grow up so quickly. Live cheaply so that you do not become a slave to money / work.
8. Try to educate your children every day using normal daily activities.
9. Become involved with their school.
10. Educate yourself and your children to Philosophy (wisdom from truth) such that you can teach your children to have good ‘bullshit detectors’ so they can protect themselves from a lot of the crap (myth masquerading as truth) in our modern world.
