Conscious Parenting Defined
- Conscious parenting focuses on the parent's growth, not just the child's.
- Through the parent's self-improvement, raising the child becomes natural and authentic.
Barrier to Conscious Parenting
- The biggest barrier to conscious parenting is the parent's ego, or "false self".
- This developed to protect the parent's authentic self, which wasn't honored in their childhood.
Importance of Connection
- Children develop their sense of self based on how their caregivers perceive them.
- If the caregiver's perception is distorted by projections, the child's authentic self can be suppressed.
