From the New York Times bestselling author and pioneer of the Conscious Parenting movement, Dr. Shefali Tsabary, with a Foreword by His Holiness the Dalai Lama
"This book gets to the heart of parenting." -- Eckhart Tolle
In a world overflowing with parenting advice, The Conscious Parent stands apart as a spiritual, emotional, and psychological breakthrough. Written by renowned clinical psychologist Dr. Shefali Tsabary, this bestselling parenting book redefines what it means to raise emotionally healthy, empowered children--by first turning the mirror inward.
Rooted in both Eastern mindfulness and Western psychology, this transformative approach invites parents to step beyond control-based discipline and quick-fix techniques. Instead, Dr. Shefali teaches how to develop conscious parenting skills that emphasize emotional intelligence, mutual respect, and deep parent-child connection.
Inside this seminal book that began the Conscious Parenting movement, you will discover how to:
- Recognize your child as your greatest spiritual teacher
- Heal your own emotional wounds and break generational cycles
- Replace punishment with mindful communication and presence
- Build an authentic, mutually empowering relationship with your child
- Shift from a control-based to a connection-based parenting style
Whether you're a first-time parent or a seasoned caregiver, The Conscious Parent will inspire you to release control, embrace transformation, and walk a new path--one where raising your children becomes the deepest journey back to your truest self.
