A startling account of recent work in this field…timely, balanced, useful. –R.D. Laing What will your child remember about life before birth? For a renowned conductor, it’s the music his mother played– only during her pregnancy! For an autistic girl, unable to speak her native French, it’s the English that her mother spoke– three months before she was born! For others, it’s the sound of a voice, the murmur of a beating heart, the glare of lights in a hospital delivery room. Memories that may be comforting–or terrifying. Long before they’re born, your children are thinking, feeling, and even acting. What happens to them before–and as–they are born may profoundly shape the people they will become. These startling findings have even more dramatic implications. They give us a chance to help determine the course of our children’s lives will take–starting months before they’re born.
