Book Review : It’s rare that I don’t put a book down. With two young children, a
private practice, a teaching position, and a to-do-list a mile long, I am as
busy as most other humans I meet. However, I found The Mindful Parent:
Strategies from Peaceful Cultures to Raise Compassionate, Competent
Kids to be such a well-written and informative book, I read it virtually
cover-to-cover in two days. I spent the last six years thoroughly
researching attachment in the perinatal years for my doctorate, and the
last nine-plus years reading nearly every conscious parenting book out
there while raising my own children, and I still learned surprising new
facts in every chapter of this book.
