"A resource that reconnects us to lessons from the animal world and shows us how to restore wellness in our families, communities, and lives by exploring different animals' parenting models"--

When the life course follows evolutionary systems, then prosocial, open-hearted capacities develop but when the life course goes against evolutionary systems it should not be a surprise that self-focused values and behaviors develop such as violent tribalism, self aggrandizement and a binary orientation to others (dominance or submission).

This book analyses the cultural, neurobiological and psychological aspects of early childhood and their impact on later morality and decision-making.

Following an introductory historical chapter, this work analyzes topics including: accelerated Christian education, bullying, caring, character development, cheating, civic education, commitment, counseling, democratic schools, discipline, drug and alcohol education, honesty, justice, moral agency, peer influence, and positive psychology.
