About this listen

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.

Read it and then read it again!

Incredibly helpful parenting book! It gave me new and more effective approaches to deal with my children that I had not considered. I found it also gave me more clarity when it came to my husband and I... how we were raised, our parenting styles and our own struggles as a couple and as individuals. Fabulous book!!! I will be listening to this over and over. Highly recommended.

A powerful and empowering book

As an individual and new parent, this book has been by far the most empowering and enlightening filled with so many ‘ah-ha’ moments. It helped me better understand why I am who I am today as a result of my upbringing, better understand why my parents are who they are, and look forward to being a parent to my daughter. Thank you!

A concept that an emotionally intelligent parent will love

Starting out, I wondered if this book was going to be a little too foofoo.
I have two daughters already at University and two more in grade school.
The Author kept me interested until I understood and began to buy-in. I started to recognize the situations I failed at and the things I was doing right, and then learned how to focus on myself and my reactions.
I love the ideas of this book and realized that the concepts are right on point and how I can use them to raise my last two girls.
Wish I would have read it 20 years earlier.

Parenting must read!

I wish I would have read this book before I had children. This book brought up a lot of emotion for ne. I had to face my own childhood pain and really get honest with myself. I recommend this book if you are ready to take responsibility and face your own demons. .

This book spoke to me

This is probably the first “parenting book” that I’ve managed to listen to all the way to the end. I am finding myself to be much more patient and understanding of my children (and myself) after listening to this. Also, the authors voice is beautiful to listen to.

Changed my life

This has forever shaped the way I will engage my children. It is one I will circle back to and listen to again and again over the years.
Absolutely changed my life and has made me a better more connected parent.
Has also INSTANTLY changed my kids lives and they way they respond to me since I have made the shift to conscious parenting.
