The Conscious Parent: Transforming Ourselves, Empowering Our Children

Product Information

As working parents, it sometimes feels like there’s no energy at the end of the day for your family.

Well, the same applies to you: if you have psychological problems and you raise your child from a “know-it-all” position (the one granted to you by traditional parenting approaches) then it’s only natural your child will inherit some of your psychological problems as well. It’s a shame as I really like this author but this just goes on and on and on and on, no actual interesting facts or advice, plus it’s patronising.Conscious parenting sees children as “mirrors of their parents’ forgotten selves” and advises parents to veer into the mirror so they can “establish a relationship with their own inner state of wholeness.

And it is the first step towards becoming a conscious parent – we need to accept that our child is a unique human being who can be much different from us.Don’t be too harsh on your children, and always be willing to listen to them and understand their feelings. Tsabary spends a chapter on the “ego,” noting that parents often invest their own self-worth in a child’s ability to make them feel successful as parents, either through outward achievements or by resolving the parent’s emotional needs to feel loved or in control, for example.

I feel that this book is more of a reminder of what goes on in certain families and not really helpful in how to achieve mindful parenting, how to be more aware and how to quickly assess our children's needs. Conscious parenting works best when parents have done the Inner Work TM to be more curious about their emotional state. Learn more about this mindful approach to raising kids, how it differs from other parenting styles, and the pros (and cons) of being a conscious parent.A 2019 study also suggests there are benefits to adults engaging children with high-quantity and high-quality language in early childhood. We also share information about your use of our site with our social media, advertising and analytics partners. Plenty of examples are given to explain why self-realization should be at the center of parenting instead of demonstrating who is the boss.

Definitely a great source of informations for parents willing to raise children in a more human way.

According to this, most parents fall into four main types: authoritarian, authoritative, permissive/indulgent, and uninvolved/neglectful parenting. Tsabary has been featured in many major media outlets, including The Oprah Winfrey Show, the New York Times, and TEDx talks.
