BookRelational Intelligence
The Conscious Parent
Dr. Shefali Tsabary
About this book
Dr. Shefali argues that parenting is not about raising children but about raising the parent. Children mirror our unresolved patterns — and their 'misbehavior' is often an invitation for us to heal.
Key themes
- Children come through us, not from us — they are not our property
- How our unresolved childhood wounds drive parenting reactions
- Presence and mindfulness as the core parenting competency
- Moving from fear-based to consciousness-based parenting
- Children as our greatest teachers — if we're willing to be taught
