Hello,
In the introduction to this book, there is a sentence that sets the framework for the rest of the book. The sentence is, "Conscious parenting is about the relationship we have with ourselves." If you keep this in mind as you progress through the book, then you will not be disappointed. This book examines the parent and their responses to common toddler behavior. In a time of increasing single-parent households, this book provides some relief options when your child's behavior pushes your emotional limits. Most of the options expressed build trust between the parent and child; a side benefit is more time spent with your child in a productive way. If you are a parent who is struggling to get through the early years of a child's emotional behavior, read the book and understand yourself.
If you are looking for a book on how to raise your child based solely on religious standards or how to identify right/wrong behavior, good luck; there is no such book.

This book is actually helping me to be a better parent. It teaches, first of all, empathy, and places a heavy emphasis on being a good role model. It helps one to examine triggers - what causes you to lose composure and yell? As well as discovering childhood wounds that cause them - by observing your child's behavior as a reflection of your inner self.
I want to give it a 4 or 5 star rating, but as a Christian, I see it as lacking in 2 critical and foundational ways: there is no such thing as right or wrong, good or bad, just FEELINGS. It's all about validating feelings. Anything a child does is YOUR FAULT. Which, I appreciate the humility this creates in me to examine myself, but it simply isn't true - bad or evil comes from within, too. Also, this popular world view and parenting style leads to the "precious little snowflake" syndrome I encountered way too much as a teacher. Children who are ONLY validated in expressing their feelings and not taught how to manage them or that expressing them in certain ways or situations is inappropriate will become fragile and entitled, and well, emotionally driven. Which is really my second point of contention with this book: There is no emphasis on teaching the child. But I suppose, if there is no right and wrong, what is there to teach?
Overall, however, I do recommend this book. The practical application steps are easy to immediately internalize and act on, and have already made a significant improvement in how I understand and react to my behavior and my child's behavior.

This book focuses how to remain calm in stressful situations with your toddler. Identifying which triggers you are brining into your family that your child may emulate.

Ok. But feels fluffed-up.

February 13, 2022I found this book repetitive and oddly preachy with a few good ideas in the first section of the book.
