The Mindful Parent

Provocative, life-changing and kind, this book will transform how you think about your-self as a parent, as well as transforming how you parent.



Is it even possible to be sane, calm and connected in the chaos of parenting? Somewhere in our over-scheduled and frantic lives we've lost our intuition around how to bring up our kids. Kids come with all they need to flourish to their full potential, but instead we've replaced curiosity with control and lost our sanity in the process.



With a few simple techniques, The Mindful Parent changes this. It's a timely and liberating journey to the heart of what we all really want - a deep and lasting relationship with our children. Its unique approach leads us to that deep connection by weaving together the latest in neuroscience, personal story, and deceptively simple strategies that are so kind and effective it's hard not to use them.



Each chapter deals with a different area of our parenting lives - our stress levels and busyness; our tricky emotions; our challenging core beliefs; our essential connection with our children; our children's tricky emo-tions; and the struggle of conflict-management.



There is more un-learning than learning in this book. It will be read with a sigh of relief, a new sense of joy, and a realisation that the expertise to parent well is already deep within each one of us.



'This is one of those rare books which takes an incredibly complex but hugely important subject and turns that into simple tools we can all understand and apply. If you sometimes struggle to be the kind of parent you want to be... this book is an absolute must.'
