Prenatal Memory: How to Accept Love from Our Children.

Dr. Akira Ikegawa opened a maternity clinic in Japan and has been helping parents handle childbirth for 40 years. His interest in ensuring the healthy growth of children and a happy family life was stimulated while interacting with the people who visited his clinic. His research on prenatal memory resulted in a new parenting method designed to increase the happiness of parents and children. He discovered that parents must be conscious of receiving love from their children. In this paper, Ikegawa compares his experience with standard obstetrical practices in Japan and his experience after introducing the Prenatal Memory method in his clinic. He also provides thoughts on Prenatal Memory Education, which evolved from prenatal memory research from Japan. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
