Overview
The Awakened Family: How to Raise Empowered, Resilient, and Conscious Children is a brand new paperback from clinical psychologist Dr Shefali Tsabary. Blending Eastern philosophy with Western psychology, this practical guide helps parents move away from control and expectation, and towards authentic connection with their children. It's a thoughtful, research-backed read for anyone raising kids in a busy, pressured modern world, and a natural follow-up for readers of Tsabary's earlier bestseller, The Conscious Parent.

About the Book
Many parents unknowingly parent from a place of ego, anxiety or unmet expectation, projecting their own hopes and fears onto their children rather than seeing who those children truly are. In The Awakened Family, Dr Shefali Tsabary challenges this pattern directly, offering a step-by-step framework for shifting from control to genuine partnership with your child. Drawing on decades of clinical experience and her own training in mindfulness and Eastern contemplative practice, she shows parents how to recognise their own triggers, release unrealistic societal standards, and instead nurture the child in front of them. The book covers practical territory: how to handle conflict without shame or punishment, how to build emotional resilience in children of all ages, and how to model the kind of calm, grounded presence that helps kids regulate their own emotions. Rather than offering rigid rules, Tsabary provides reflective exercises and real family case studies that illustrate her ideas in action. The tone is warm and non-judgemental throughout, acknowledging how hard modern parenting can be while still pushing readers toward meaningful change. Whether you're navigating toddler tantrums, teenage independence, or the everyday friction of family life, this book offers a coherent philosophy and practical tools to help you respond with intention rather than reactivity. It's a substantial, thought-provoking read that rewards parents willing to look inward as much as outward.
