As a clinical psychologist, I often find that traditional parenting advice focuses too heavily on correcting a child's behaviour, so it has been refreshing to come across the work of Dr. Shefali Tsabary’s . Her conscious parenting approach flips the script and invites parents take a different view through considering their own experiences of childhood, parenting and the pressures of modern life.
When a child misbehaves, it is rarely an act of defiance; more often, it is a trigger that exposes our own concerns and expectations. If you are looking to move away from reactive discipline and toward a more mindful relationship with your children, Dr. Shefali's work is an invaluable roadmap for any parent.
She recently released 2 new books that I highly recommend; Raising Conscious Daughters and Raising Conscious Sons. Both books are written with the current pressures of parenting and society as key dilemmas to explore, and looks at the role of gender within this, giving practical ideas and thought provoking content that all parents can benefit from.
