Conscious Parenting Toward a Better Future For Us All with Dr. Shefali Tsabary

About this sermon

In this episode of our For the Love of the Middle series, renowned clinical psychologist Dr. Shefali returns to the show to discuss her concept of conscious parenting. Those of us in the middle of life who may still be parenting kids at home, or adjusting to parenting adult children who have just launched out into the world–or in any season of the parenting journey, really–will find much to learn as we look back (and forward) at our parenting patterns. Dr. Shefali provides a step-by-step roadmap to help free parents and their children from toxic patterns and expectations, while building a lasting meaningful bond with them. Using her book as a guide, she will introduce us to the five patterns of ego, show us some varying parenting styles (including helping Jen unpack her own parenting style), develop a mindful focus on self-control, and tips on how we can encourage our adult children to parent themselves. Jen and the good doctor will hit some big topics that will inform not only parents, but those of us who wish to discover how we were parented, and how it impacts us now; including: • Walking through the definition of conscious parenting and the three stages of the parenting map • Debunking the notion that as parents we are supposed to create happy, perfect superhumans by following traditional parenting rules • Dismissing the notion that there are good kids and bad kids—and how to avoid using these labels • Revealing the five ego patterns parents that parents might not even realize inform their quest to raise amazing children • The three reasons why children act out or misbehave and how you can learn not to shame them for it • The results of over-parenting and how it shows up in your adult children It’s never too late to become a mindful parent and set an intention to allow your children to become centerstage in their own lives. * * * Thank you to our sponsors! ➤ BetterHelp | Try convenient and affordable therapy with BetterHelp anytime, anywhere.
