Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Awakened Family
Shefali Tsabary · 2016
68/100
👎 Skip It
Tsabary's conscious parenting framework is compassionately framed and draws on genuine clinical credentials, but the heavy integration of Eastern non-dual philosophy and Eckhart Tolle-style spirituality will be a real barrier for faith-conservative families, and some parents find the consistent mindfulness-as-mirror approach more guilt-inducing than liberating in practice. Worth it for readers already aligned with that spiritual worldview; others will find better fits.
