Publisher's 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.

A transforming book, amazing

Possibly the most enlightening and meaningful book that I have ever read / listened to. Read this before all other tactical parenting book.. It's not about quick fixes or band aids.. It goes to the core of who we are and why we act the way that we do - challenging us to find our own authenticity and presence both as people and parents. Beautifully narrated by the author.

Must Read

This book is a must read for parents and parents to be. Not only has it supported me in my role as a parent but had also given me some wonderful thoughts on how I can work on healing from childhood trauma.

Enjoyable & enlightening

If you are open to non traditional parenting theories then this is a great book. Helps you see children’s frustration and your frustrations with them in a totally new light. The first part of the book lays all the foundations and theories which come together in the latter part of the book. This was my first Audible book which was recommended to me. Lovely that the author is the narrator.

Must read for parents

A great insight into how your lack emotional awareness impacts your children's development.

Have you ever wondered why your kids behave they way they do, it's to do with you, good strategies and read life stories that give the book substance.

The audio is smooth and well read.

The Most Amazing Book on Parenting

The longest, most comprehensive, most challenging and most valuable book on parenting I’ve read. I’ve read quite a large number of parenting books and child psychology books, but this is my new favourite.

Several hours in I wasn’t even sure I agreed with the underlying message or style, but the arguments and theory are so compelling that i know I’ll listen to this book many times again in the future and keep learning more and more.

Highly recommended for anyone who truly wants to be the best parent they can be and who wants to raise happy, kind, intelligent, confident and mindful little souls.

An inspiring look into parenthood!

I’m not yet a mother, but excited to become one! This book was an inspiring read to help me become aware of the importance of presence as a parent. I will definitely be reading this again! The lessons were invaluable and the examples were so useful.
