The Conscious Parent
300 pages, 2010
Dr. Shefali Tsabary, one of the world’s leading experts on conscious parenting, offers parents a powerful new paradigm for understanding their role in their children’s lives. A Call to Conscious Parenting is an intimate guide that shows parents how to open up space in their lives, so they can be fully available to their children in the midst of raising them. Rather than focusing on conventional rules, expectations, and modes of behavior encouraged by society and family, this book helps parents tune into their child’s soul–his or her deepest longing, authentic self, and precious inner seed of goodness and love–and act accordingly. Dr. Tsabary calls us to see that children have a will and desire to grow into whoever they are meant to become; all we need to do is remove our own roadblocks by been willing to face our own emotional challenges in order to become who we are meant to be as parents, too.
In The Conscious Parent, Shefali Tsabary encourages parents to see parenting as a journey of self-discovery. She believes that our children mirror our own behaviors and emotions. So, if we want to change our children's behavior, we need to start by changing ourselves. It's a fascinating concept to explore.
Tsabary suggests that parents often try to control their children's lives too much. Instead, she encourages parents to let go of control and allow their children to develop their own identities. This can be a challenging concept to grasp, but it's worth taking a look into.
The Conscious Parent emphasizes the importance of embracing your child's uniqueness. Tsabary argues that every child is different and should be allowed to express their individuality. This means not imposing our own dreams and expectations on them, but rather supporting them in finding their own path.
Shefali Tsabary reminds us that parenting is not about being perfect, but about building a strong, loving connection with our children. She encourages parents to be present, listen to their children, and respond with empathy. This is a key takeaway to remember.
The Conscious Parent encourages parents to practice mindfulness. Tsabary believes that by being more aware of our own emotions and reactions, we can respond to our children in a more thoughtful and compassionate way. It's a powerful concept to research and implement in your parenting journey.
