Publisher's summary

Instead of being merely the receiver of the parents' psychological and spiritual legacy, children function as ushers of the parents' development. Parents unwittingly pass on an inheritance of psychological pain and emotional shallowness. To handle the behavior that results, traditional books on parenting abound with clever techniques for control and quick fixes for dysfunction.

In Dr. Shefali Tsabary's conscious approach to parenting, however, children serve as mirrors of their parents' forgotten self. Those willing to look in the mirror have an opportunity to establish a relationship with their own inner state of wholeness. Once they find their way back to their essence, parents enter into communion with their children, shifting away from the traditional parent-to-child "know it all" approach and more towards a mutual parent-with-child relationship. The pillars of the parental ego crumble as the parents awaken to the ability of their children to transport them into a state of presence.

Featured Article: The 10 Best Parenting Audiobooks


As many parents know all too well, there’s no official guide on how to raise your child. From all the ways you can show love and affection to the more difficult acts of helping them grow through discipline, each kid—and each family—is unique in what they need. A one-size-fits all approach doesn’t exist, which is why finding the advice and resources that best speak to you are so important. We’ve pooled together the top resources on parenting for all different styles and families, and parents looking for a wide breadth of advice.

So helpful with parenting kids of all ages.

First of all, I love that the author is the narrator. This book has great tools for accepting and communicating with children of all ages. My girls are 8 and 12 years. My relationship with them has changed in a positive way. I have learned new tools to be present.
I will be listening to this again.

A beautiful book

I really appreciated learning about a mindfulness approach to parenting. It’s reasonable and wise. The author offers many helpful examples and tools that drive home the points. I learned so much, and hope to be able to apply the lessons when my little one arrives. The narration is clear and well-paced.
