Summary:
Today I’m excited to welcome Dr. Shefali to the podcast. I have been a longtime fan of her work, and as I step into parenthood myself, this episode comes at the perfect time! In it, we dive into concepts from her most recent book, The Parenting Map, and explore the traditional parenting paradigm (and why it’s not working anymore), plus how to develop awareness around your behaviours to foster a deeper connection with your kids.
Dr. Shefali received her doctorate in clinical psychology from Columbia University. Specializing in the integration of Western psychology and Eastern philosophy, she brings together the best of both worlds for her clients. She is an expert in family dynamics and personal development, teaching courses around the globe. She has written four books, three of which are New York Times best-sellers, including her two landmark books, The Conscious Parent and The Awakened Family.
Discover:
* The traditional parenting paradigm and why it’s not working anymore
* Why shifting from control to connection is key in conscious parenting
* How to nurture your child’s essence, so they develop resilience and self-worth
* Why our children trigger us (hint: it’s about you, not them)
* How your past pain influences the way you parent
* How social media impacts your child’s self-worth and self-image
* How to identify your child’s ego pattern

Oh my god. I loved this. Just wat i needed to hear with my 4 month old. I m already anxious mom when he is this little n then people telling me he should have been very well sleep trained n blah blah blah.

I found this book interesting - How Dad made me a superhero. My 7 year old read this quite a few time on just 2 days. He's actually overcoming his little fears and open to explore the scary situations. I happy with the book.

Thanks for being real

A child's behavior is a product of their environment has never rung truer to me

I do not agree that there was a control / coercion parental paradigm. Parents need to do everything everything just to keep children alive.. they are completely dependent at the beginning .. children need acceptance of their parents.. to accept their greater authority until they can manage for themselves. Not a convincing approach for me.
-
But how is going with your own child.. you who blame all of us the parents.
