“It’s important to regularly thank our children for sharing themselves with us. We can thank them for the wealth of meaning they bring into our life. We can thank them for their wisdom, kindness, passion, spontaneity, and liveliness.”
― Shefali Tsabary, The Conscious Parent: Transforming Ourselves, Emowering Our Children

“None of your pain or brokenness, whatever particular form it may take, is who you really are. None of it ever touches your essential being. For this reason, whatever may have happened to you in the past doesn’t have to define you today.”
― Shefali Tsabary, The Conscious Parent: Transforming Ourselves, Emowering Our Children

“Children are as content with a little fruit for dinner as they are with a gourmet meal. Their eyes don’t search for things to attach to, but for things to let go of. Instead of imposing their will on life, they flow with the stream.”
― Shefali Tsabary, The Conscious Parent: Transforming Ourselves, Emowering Our Children

“In fact, when we examine anxiety closely, it’s really a passive state—a distractor that allows us to fill our head with busy thoughts that appear to be active responses to our situation but in reality are powerless. Though we seek to impose control through the stance we take on an issue, by means of our thoughts, or by seeking to impose our will on others, we rarely take the action required to alter things.”
