Consciously Parenting a Book Review for Any Parents

I got a free copy of this book to do a review.  It is the first volume in a 4 volume series.  This first volume reviews the 8 principles to consciously parenting.

I have been doing my massage therapy/therapy for the last year and was so pleased to see that so many of the things that have helped me in the past year are covered in this book.

The book discusses the patterns of our behaviors and how that affects our parenting and how we can break these patterns.  I especially love that they talk about how you have a physical response or feeling at the beginning of a pattern.  For me it is my neck gets tight or sometimes my chest gets tight.  I have learned when I start to feel one of these that I need to slow down and I have the power to choose to act a different way.  I don’t have to run my pattern.   This has changed how I parent.

I love her saying – Power of the Pause.  It is true, if you pause before you react you have time to choose how you want to respond!  Our relationships with our children – our connection – is so important in how they grow up and develop.  So valuing that relationship is key!

I like how she talks about how parenting begins while even still pregnant.  P 34 “our children communicate with us before they are even born.”

I think this is a really great book that gives some tools for better parenting  – from the inside out.  I know that for me I have read hundreds of parenting books, but it really wasn’t until I changed myself and figured out my patterns that I was able to shift and really start to connect with my boys.  That has made a huge shift in our relationship and their behavior!

This book has a lot of great information that can help parents.  I love that it really helps parents realize the answers are within themselves!

Click on over to the Consciously Parenting site to learn how you can get a copy.  I think it will be an amazing series.  I like that it is actually in 4 volumes so you can focus on one thing at a time.
