Parenting Begins with Yourself. How a Mindful Approach Helps Raise Happy and Independent Children

When a child misbehaves, parents want to find the right approach. But children do not change because of parenting techniques. They change in the presence of an adult who knows how to be in contact with themselves and with them. The child subtly reads our expectations, anxiety, and irritation, and then responds with protest, withdrawal, tantrums, or stubbornness. Shefali Tsabary, a psychologist and recognized expert in family relationships, believes that the key to comfortable parenting lies not in increasing control, but in the parent's mindfulness.

This book will help you:
- navigate tantrums and conflicts without threats, humiliation, and devaluation;
- establish clear rules and maintain boundaries calmly and consistently;
- strengthen your connection with your child through respectful listening;
- recognize your own triggers (anger, shame, helplessness) and not take it out on your child.

After all, parenting is not an endless race, but a living relationship filled with warmth and joy.
