This is a book about parenting with acceptance, courage, and compassion. About being mindful of our own emotions and experiences, as well as those of our children. This is about acknowledging reality; the reality of life as it reveals itself to us in every moment, so that we can learn from it and grow in awareness, wisdom, and equanimity. This book can teach you to embrace the moments that your child provides you, instead of resisting them. It can help you to learn from every situation, and as a result, better know not only your child, but yourself. It can teach you how to use whatever life offers as a way to grow within yourself and become an ever more effective and compassionate individual and parent.
