From the New York Times bestselling author of The Conscious Parent comes a radically transformative plan that shows parents how to raise children to be their best, truest selves Our children have the unique ability to bring about our greatest inner awakening and transformation. However, many of us are unable to experience this because we are blinded by modern misconceptions of parenting. Dr. Shefali teaches us how to see our children as they actually are. When we become aware of who our children really are, we can naturally intuit the right way forward, no matter the situation. With practical, hands-on strategies and powerful examples from her experiences as a parent and clinical psychologist, Dr. Shefali shows readers a clear path to transcending our fears and illusions and becoming fully present, conscious parents. Inspiring, illuminating, and deeply thought-provoking, The Awakened Family is an essential book for re-thinking what it truly means to be a parent.
