simply stated parenting can be challenging. It challenges us to examine parts of ourselves that our children gift us with. Alfie Kohn and Shefali Tsabary challenges every parent to reflect on what our children are gifting us with. Here is a paragraph from The Conscious Parent- transforming ourselves, empowering our children by Shefali Tsabary "When a parent tells they are upset that they lost control of their emotions in front of their child, they expect me to judge or guilt-trip them. Instead, I congratulate them, I say "Now we know how your unconscious looks, which is an important step forward." It is indeed an important step forward, because most people in the world have no clue that their re-activity is a manifestation of unconsciousness. To realize this about ourselves is a huge breakthrough." She late writes that conscious parents live by the dictate that I expect to be triggered, entangles, overwhelmed, and to engage in egoic parenting at times. However, I will use the lessons embedded in these occasions to evolve as a person and to help my children evolve as well"
