The Parenting Map: Step-by-Step Solutions to Consciously Create the Ultimate Parent-Child Relationship

A revolutionary new parenting method by the New York Times bestselling author of The Conscious Parent and The Awakened Family. 

Every parent is capable of raising happy, healthy, and emotionally grounded children. Despite this, too many of us struggle along the journey. From the fast-changing realities of social media to the fear that permeates our culture, to the generational expectations that are unconsciously placed on children, the pressures on parents and children have reached a critical moment. We feel it and our children feel it. But there is a solution.

With over two decades experience working directly with parents, acclaimed clinical psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Shefali offers a profoundly practical and groundbreaking parenting solution that helps parents actualize their deepest desires for their children. This step-by-step guide disrupts toxic inherited patterns and replaces them with authentic connections that allow us to see and respond to our children for who they are and who they can become.

This is the evidence-based manual that every parent has been searching for. Complete with paradigm shifting wisdom, illuminating client stories, and detailed practices, The Parenting Map guides the way to empowering our children while transforming ourselves.

The hand that rocks the cradle, rules the world. Just look at the state the world is in: teen suicide at record highs, children diagnosed with emotional problems, children drugged for behavioral problems, adults with alcoholism, unhappy marriages, depression, anti-depressants taken like aspirin. We've got to come to terms with what is wrong. What is the cause. It starts with the parent-child relationship. Now let's all do our part to help save the world. Excellent book. Excellent and wonderful author. Tremendous life altering wisdom and insight for the mere price of a book.
