About this listen

“A wise and fresh approach to mindful parenting.” (Tara Brach, author of Radical Acceptance)

A kinder, more compassionate world starts with kind and compassionate kids. In Raising Good Humans, you’ll find powerful and practical strategies to break free from “reactive parenting” habits and raise kind, cooperative, and confident kids.

Whether you’re running late for school, trying to get your child to eat their vegetables, or dealing with an epic meltdown in the checkout line at a grocery store - being a parent is hard work! And, as parents, many of us react in times of stress without thinking - often by yelling. But what if, instead of always reacting on autopilot, you could respond thoughtfully in those moments, keep your cool, and get from A to B on time and in one piece?

With this book, you’ll find powerful mindfulness skills for calming your own stress response when difficult emotions arise. You’ll also discover strategies for cultivating respectful communication, effective conflict resolution, and reflective listening. In the process, you’ll learn to examine your own unhelpful patterns and ingrained reactions that reflect the generational habits shaped by your parents, so you can break the cycle and respond to your children in more skillful ways.

When children experience a parent reacting with kindness and patience, they learn to act with kindness as well - thereby altering generational patterns for a kinder, more compassionate future. With this essential guide, you’ll see how changing your own “autopilot reactions” can create a lasting positive impact, not just for your kids, but for generations to come.

An essential, must-listen for all parents - now more than ever.

This book really dives into many topics about our parenting journey! Currently have been reading many books about these topics reactive parenting vs conscious parenting. It truly explains so well how parents can work on themselves to create a more self aware, conscious, empathetic parenting mindset while taking care of their own trigger and learn how to be conscious of these triggers and learn to work beyond the limitations of your past so we as parents do not pass on these hurts to future generations.
Beautiful, empathetic, and amazing mindset work!

So incredibly relatable!

This author demystifies parenting & the nature of children. The content of its pages hasn't just offered solutions to what I see as challenges with parenting & the ways in which I could be doing things better - it has been very inspiring & resparked joy and wonder in my journey of this sacred assignment of successfully raising children up to be successful adults.

I wish all parents had access to this book and its practical, accessible wisdom...
