A delightful and illuminating must read for parents. While we think it’s our responsibility to mold and shape our children’s future, the essential premise of The Conscious Parent is that our children are born to us to create deep internal transformation within us.
Our children have the power to unleash our egoic behavior unlike anyone else, triggering all of our emotional reactivity. Through our intimate relationship with them, we are exposed to our immaturity; they become our most accurate mirror of our own lack of emotional development. To do justice to parenthood, a parent needs to become conscious. Only to the degree we are willing to transform our own emotional present do we succeed in positively influencing our children’s future.
“It’s no surprise we fail to tune into our children’s essence. How can we listen to them, when so many of us barely listen to ourselves? . . . A child enters our life to help us become aware of how much we need to grow. . . . To parent from ego means you urge your children to enter your world, not theirs. . . . Wielding power through control . . . is an indicator of an impoverished soul.”
