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.

“To raise the children we hope to raise, we have to learn to become the person we hoped to be…. This wonderful book will help you handle the ride.” (KJ Dell’Antonia, author of How to Be a Happier Parent)

“Hunter Clarke-Fields shares her wisdom and personal experience to help parents create peaceful families.” (Joanna Faber and Julie King, coauthors of How to Talk So Little Kids Will Listen)

Great guide

As a young parent of 2 I find this book very helpful.

I think it needs to be read/listened more than once tho. One time might not be enough, Too many things and advices to consider

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

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.

Applicable summary of several key parenting books

I recognized the advice from other parenting books I had heard and read. I like how practically this book is laid out and I think I'll pick up a hard copy when I come across one. I liked the author's writing prompts. I did not like the narration. While the narrator's voice is pleasant, her tone ups and downs make it hard to know when sentences end. It made difficult for me to follow the flow unless my attention was 100% on listening.

Will be listening to again.

Great book. I listened to the entire book and now plan on listening to the book chapter by chapter and doing the exercises.
I hardly ever reread or listen to a book more than once.

Should have listened sooner

Great information! I’ve learned about myself, parents, and children. Will read again and again. Thoroughly enjoyed the narrator and book in it’s entirety.

Using my best I statement

I enjoyed the message of the book, but the tone of the reader made me feel inadequate as a parent. I heard the tone as condescending.
