About this listen

Turning the traditional notion of parenting on its head, Dr Tsabary shifts the epicentre of the parent-child relationship away from the standard parent-to-child 'know it all' approach to a mutual 'parent-with-child' relationship in which the parent learns alongside the child.

Parents unwittingly pass on an inheritance of psychological pain and emotional rigidity to their children. To handle the behaviour that results from this, traditional books on parenting abound with quick-fix techniques for control and behaviour management. In contrast, by following Shefali Tsabary's philosophy and the advice in The Conscious Parent, you will begin to learn from your child, accept who they are and not only feel closer to them, but also more in touch with yourself.

As you develop both emotionally and spiritually, so you will feel more confident in regard to raising well-adjusted, happy children.

I honestly think that everyone can benefit from reading this book. If not to grow and better themselves as a parent, then to understand more their own parents and the way they were raised. I bought this book expecting only a thesis on parenting but found so much more within its pages.
Tsabary offers a whole new way of looking at the parent/child dynamic and relationship. Her beliefs resonate with me. I've read voraciously on parenting, mindfulness, meditation, Buddhism, and other topics that permeate this text, so Tsabary's philosophy is not entirely new to me.
Still, for me, no other author managed to go into such depth and so wholly and beautifully explain the potential the parent/child relationship truly holds.
I can't recommend this book highly enough - it's enlightening, beautiful, and profound regardless of whether you have kids or not.

Must-read for everyone! (Not only parents!)

The author makes useful points about raising children. Rebuilding our own sense of self so our children can benefit from us being clearer and more in touch with our genuine self so that they can, in turn, have a better chance than we did growing up with unconscious parents.

The book is with lots of interesting and sometimes challenging beliefs. I have found it very insightful, encouraging and going to the root. Great examples to demonstrate and support her points.

Lovely book, well read and easy to listen to. A little 'deep' at times that often hits a sore spot in how our behaviour is directly affecting our childrens, however sometimes you have to hear the truth to understand how to help your child thrive. I personally enjoyed every minute.
