In The Conscious Parent, Shefali Tsabary takes the reader on a journey into parenting, helping them to become more mindful while raising our children. From early childhood, through the teenage years, and into adulthood, there must always be an exchange between parent and child. This exchange, however, goes both ways, as both the child and the parent support the other while they develop and grow. Not only does the child benefit from the parent’s teachings, but the parent also learns and evolves as a result of their interactions with the child. For this exchange to take place, parents must work on their own consciousness, by calling themselves into question, reflecting on their past, and most of all, by truly wanting to evolve, not only as a parent, but also as a human being.
