Understanding Ourselves so we can Take Better Care of Our Children
A book that helps parents to pay attention to daily life and the relationships they are creating with their children.
In a candid and uplifting manner, therapist-coach and podcast host Cathy Adams shares everyday epiphanies from her own parenting and professional experiences to reveal that while becoming a self-aware parent isn't always easy, it is powerful and liberating. All too often we fall into the trap of parenting without a real awareness of what we're doing and why we're doing it, invariably using other peoples' ideas and values or outdated child-rearing techniques. By developing self-understanding, then parenting from this authentic state, we become joyful individuals who live in a way that's true to ourselves. LIVING WHAT YOU WANT YOUR KIDS TO LEARN focuses on how we can rediscover self-worth and parent in a more connected way. Because children learn by watching how we live, not by listening to what we say.
