They pass on their feelings to their children - unmet needs, unfulfilled expectations, and unrealized dreams. When raising children, many parents lack consciousness. Part Three, What is a conscious approach to parenting?Ī conscious approach to parenting accepts children as they are, without trying to control or change them. Part Two, How can parents transform themselves to achieve consciousness? Part One, Why do parents need to be conscious? Next, we will explore three key questions from the book: This book can help parents solve parenting problems, get closer to their true selves and engage in active self-talk to achieve maximum development.

The problem comes from parents, or more precisely, their unconscious approaches to parenting that in turn bring about a whole range of issues. The Conscious Parent provides the answer to this question. We have a hard time wondering what is wrong with our children and why they behave like this?
They develop a mind of their own and are no longer controlled by us or told what to do.
However, as the children grow older, these self-righteous demands gradually have less impact on them. This is because we always feel we are right and we think we are doing what is best for our children. Your child wants to read a funny comic book, but you give him a history book instead your child wants to go to the garden to play in the mud, but you make her to play the piano for two hours. And so, we believe we have the right to control them and make them act according to our expectations and demands. However, in the face of practical problems, we can't help letting our ego come out on top, often in a condescending way, thinking that our children are still young and don't know as much as we do.
We claim to value our child's inner feelings and emphasize our love and respect for them. Today we will unlock the book The Conscious Parent: Transforming Ourselves, Empowering Our Children.Īs parents, we often carry with us a touch of self-importance, or ego, when dealing with our children.
