About the episode
Dr Shefali, a world-renowned psychologist and founder of the conscious parenting movement, explains how parents' unconscious behaviours and inherited belief systems from their own upbringing can lead them to control and micromanage their children rather than truly connecting with them. She advocates for parents to raise their own consciousness and understand what's happening within themselves and their children, including addressing modern challenges like screen time addiction by creating analog experiences that rival the dopamine hits children get from digital devices. Conscious parenting focuses on fostering deep connections through awareness and attunement rather than control, while still maintaining necessary boundaries.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
