The time has come for parenting to become what it was always meant to be-about the parent. Dr. Shefali Tsabary details how our children can be raised as conscious adults only when we as parents allow ourselves to be raised into a higher state of consciousness. Turning the traditional notion of parenting on its head, Dr. Tsabary shifts the epicenter of the parentchild relationship away from the traditional parent-to-child know it all approach to a mutual parent-with-child relationship in which the parent learns alongside the child. This innovative parenting style recognizes the child’s potential to spark a deep soul-searching, leading to transformation in parents. Instead of being merely the receiver of the parents’ psychological and spiritual legacy, children function as ushers of the parents’ development. Once parents are learning alongside their children, power, control, and dominance become an archaic language. Instead, mutual kinship and spiritual partnership are the focus of the parent-child journey. Because parents unwittingly pass on an inheritance of psychological pain and emotional shallowness, traditional books on parenting abound with clever techniques for control, together with quick fixes for dysfunctionality. In contrast, in Dr. Tsabary’s conscious approach to parenting, children serve as mirrors of the parent’s forgotten self. Once a parent finds their way back to their essence, they enter into communion with their children. Parent and child awaken to the ability to relate in a state of presence. Book jacket.
