Publisher's summary

"Parents...you will be wowed and awed by [Dr. Shefali]." (Oprah Winfrey)

New from the New York Times best-selling author of The Conscious Parent comes a radically transformative plan that shows parents how to raise children to be their best, truest selves.

What if...?

What if I told you that you can put an end to all of your parenting struggles?
That you can learn to parent without fear or anxiety?
That you can end conflict with your children?
That you can create close and connected relationships within your family?
Would you accept this invitation to a revolution in parenting?

We all have the capacity to raise children who are highly resilient and emotionally connected. However, many of us are unable to because we are blinded by modern misconceptions of parenting and our own inner limitations. In The Awakened Family, I show you how you can cultivate a relationship with your children so they can thrive; moreover, you can be transformed to a state of greater calm, compassion, and wisdom as well.

This book will take you on a journey to transcending your fears and illusions around parenting and help you become the parent you always wanted to be: fully present and conscious. It will arm you with practical, hands-on strategies and real-life examples from my experience as a parent and clinical psychologist that show the extraordinary power of being a conscious parent.

Everyone in your family is ready to be awakened.

Will you take this journey with me?

Critic reviews

"Stop struggling, parents. Here is the key to relaxing into your family and into your parenting.... [Tsabary] has a new book releasing us all from the stresses of 'making' the perfect child." (The Washington Post)

"I want to give this book to everyone I know who is a parent, a grandparent, a child, a grown-up child...everyone. It's not only a primer for the kind of family life we all long for, it's also a guide to being human - to living with more ease, more love, more joy." (Elizabeth Lesser, cofounder of Omega Institute and author of Broken Open and Marrow)

"Shefali Tsabary shines the light of wisdom on the most enlightened aspect of parenting: discovering a child's individual personhood and purpose, and nurturing the path to its fulfillment." (Michael Bernard Beckwith, author of Life Visioning)

Every one that cares for children needs to read this

This book is essential to all people who care for children, weather it be a parent, grandparent or caregiver. This book teaches you where the foundation we build in guiding our children comes from. But also shows you why it is so important to be a positive role model in a child's life. Love this book!!!

Rare & priceless take on how to be a great parent

Too many parenting books and strategies are based on control, coercion, and punishment. This book is a beautiful guide for how to change *yourself* rather than trying to change or fix (and thus stifle and harm) your child, in order to create connection and give your child the space to grow into their authentic self.

Amazing book!

The best book in parenting ever! A must read for everyone! Help me to have a better relationship with myself, raise my inner child in order to be a better parent for my daughters. Very grateful that I have found her! The world would be a much better place if all the people would read and apply her work.

Great read on our purpose as parents

Loved this book. It definitely helped me reflect on my parenting style. Not sure if all the advise she gives is doable but it is worth thinking about those.

Truly an awakening of myself

Loved the book. I love the idea of being a conscious parent. This book not only gives amazing parenting advice but really teaches you to look inward and resolve your own issues and consciousness first. To not place our worries on our children and to find peace within ourselves and let our children grow up to truly be themselves.
