The Conscious Parent: Transforming Ourselves, Empowering Our Children

Product Information

Many problems can be solved if parents pay attention to their children’s behavior in the early years without letting their emotions interfere. We’ve changed the approach to buying nappies, and rather than you having to do the calculations we’ve worked out how many you’ll need. All our nappies come in a one week, two week or a month’s supply.

Children’s minds are excellent absorbers; they absorb everything and anything without filtering it initially. If parents see their child doing something different from their expectations, they may become angry and start shouting. I invest a lot of time, energy, and money in things like softwares, books, design, videos, artists, designers, etc., to provide you with this level of quality content at zero cost. If you love consuming my work and appreciate it, support me. This would help me provide even more value and help humanity grow. Every little penny counts. Love it! Accept and appreciate your children as they ARE. They are ENOUGH. Here is a challenge for you – today, before bedtime, look your child in the eyes and say three things you appreciate about them. Examples: “I appreciate that you are a great learner / curious / kind / beautiful / tried your best when playing football today/ helped me in the evening”. Make it a habit. That’s not only a great way to connect with your child but also a way to build a strong foundation for your child’s self-esteem. r. Shefali’s groundbreaking book is the one book every parent should read. I cannot put it down or stop referring to it in my conversations with friends and co-workers. It will change the way you see your role as a parent and yourself. There is no blaming or shaming. Simply kind and inspirational. Dr. Shefali holds up the mirror to readers and inspires us all to take control of ourselves and watch the impact on our children.In other words, they silently tell their children that authorities are always right and should not be questioned for the best future.

It is a process of self-discovery and inner transformation. By becoming more conscious and aware, you can become the best version of yourself, and in turn, be a better parent to your children. In contrast, I find that today many children are being taught that some arbitrary “success” in career and academics is the only acceptable standard. We are training up anxious and over-stressed children and young adults who are driven in unhealthy ways to constantly compare themselves to others — and probably find themselves wanting. If you don’t practice decision-making in your childhood, you may struggle to make major life decisions, such as those related to career and dating, later in life. Often it’s the adjustment of our expectations, rather than reality itself, that’s the hurdle we have to leap. When”Here is another important thought: we accept our child to the degree we accept ourselves. So practice self-acceptance as well. The Conscious Parent underscores the challenges that are a natural part of raising a child, fully understanding that, as parents, each of us tries the best we can with the resources we have. Every child has something special and unique to offer, and it is important to nurture and encourage these talents instead of trying to make them fit into a certain mold.

If I had to criticize anything it is that the author also doesn’t have all the answers. There’s a lot of grey area to the “natural consequences” chapter. I would say in day to day life, only about 50% of all situations are so clear cut that “natural consequences” work. The rest, it does not apply. Either there’s outright danger, where our role as parents require intervention to guarantee the health of our kids. The book allows for that, but it’s everyone’s call as to which situations are actually harmful and which aren’t. It’s a grey zone. And there are other things where parent action or inaction causes consequences that cannot really be called natural. There’s a temptation to “create” natural consequences. So all in all, that concept needs to be taken with a grain of salt. It often works, but just as often, doesn’t.

Mindvalley Live Talk

The reason it is critical to discuss this is that today it’s common for children to defy their parents. Kids often feel that their parents don’t understand them, while parents believe they are playing their role perfectly well. This is a dilemma faced by almost every child around the world. You see, nobody is born great. Most of what we do in our lives, what we achieve, and how we ultimately view the world is decided by our conditioning.

Imagine that your 5-year-old has been left alone and gotten hold of the scissors (every parent’s worst nightmare!) They decided to play barber shop and use their new cutting skills on their hair. You’ve just walked in and seen the result… 1. Breathe Parents punish their kids if they don’t perform well academically. Surprisingly, many of them don’t even know the syllabus their child is studying. This happens because our ego is so insecure that it wants to be in control of everything. Change is uncomfortable for most adults, as they have an identity to protect now.Reuseable cloth nappies are surprisingly easy to wash and don’t take up much time. You should not over fill your washing machine as the nappies need space to move about to ensure the water can clean properly and agitate them. We recommend around half or ¾ of the drum size. Equally make sure you have enough in the wash. Too little and your machine may not spin properly and can cause too many soap suds.
