Story
One of the very best scientific predictors for how any child turns out - in terms of happiness, academic success, leadership skills, and meaningful relationships - is whether at least one adult in their life has consistently shown up for them. In an age of scheduling demands and digital distractions, showing up for your child might sound like a tall order. But as best-selling authors Daniel Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson reassuringly explain, it doesn’t take a lot of time, energy, or money. Instead, showing up means offering a quality of presence.

Unconditional Parenting

Story
One basic need all children have, educator Alfie Kohn argues, is to be loved unconditionally, to know that they will be accepted even if they screw up or fall short. Yet conventional approaches to parenting such as punishments (including "time outs"), rewards (including positive reinforcement), and other forms of control teach children that they are loved only when they please us or impress us. Kohn cites a body of powerful and largely unknown research detailing the damage caused by leading children to believe they must earn our approval.

Baffling and beloved, with the capacity to go from joy to frustration in seconds, young children are some of the most misunderstood people on the planet. Parents and caregivers struggle with these little ones, who are known for their extreme behaviour, from tantrums, resistance, and aggression to separation anxiety, bedtime protests, and not listening. The key to understanding youngsters lies in realizing that their challenging behaviour is not personal, nor is it a disorder or deficit.

Excellent ideas and soothing narration
- By Janine Doggett on 14-04-22
Summary
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.

Not Feeling it
I'm over half way through this book and so far there have been no suggestions on actually how to deal with a situation, only stories of happenings with other families that are usually quite negative. The author refers to 'sitting with your emotions' quite often which I fear may be the only advice given other than think before you speak. I am surprised to say that the author is also quite negative with her labelling of the parents in her stories. I'm not sure if she's merely trying to show that she empathises with us (by speaking the words that are often thought) but there appears to be a lot of placing the blame on the parents in a way that suggests we're all too wrapped up in materialism and ego and selfishness. Most parents do think about their childrens needs and often but they just don't know how to make things better in a fast paced world where society is constantly changing. 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. I suppose I still have half a book to get through, so that may change, but I'm struggling to hang on in their to see if that's the case! I would expect a book like this to make you feel empowered to make a big difference but so far I just feel deflated and confused as to what the book is trying to achieve.

Enjoyable and enlightening.
Really enjoyed listening to this book. The authors voice is so soothing and the tone of the book is unpatronizing and empowering. Certainly an eye opener with a few very relatable situations. Wish I had a book like this at the start of my parenting journey. It has made me think more before I react to a situation, asking myself why I feel the need to say/do/feel the way I do. I have already seen improvements in my own family life. Highly recommended book.

Wishy-washy Nonsense
Not a shred of anything that could be deemed practical in terms of situational advice or your own approach and mindset. Just vague and vapid superficially 'nice' offerings such as, “I allowed my inner being to guide me, which in our oneness resonated with her inner being”.

Philosophical gibberish with no practical application
It’s a book for “earth mothers”. Philosophical gibberish with no practical application, completely pointless theory which holds no weight in the complex modern relationship between parent and child. Children need freedom and should be allowed to express themselves absolutely but they also need boundaries and discipline.

Patronising and boring
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. Making out every mother should cherish each moment.
Shefali has had ONE child- can you really cherish each moment when all of your children are screaming, crying, fighting etc- be realistic motherhood is hard it’s not roses.
Tried to listen to all of it but I can’t.

Excellent Concepts
The scenarios presented are relatable and real life leaving you feel understood as a parent. While the concepts of conscious parenting seem idealistic they also feel daunting. As a parent I can see the many ways in which my own makeup has been imposed on my child unknowingly and its these aspects where I struggle the most as a parent. This book has opened my eyes and I suppose that is where we all need to start.
