In this timely and essential guide that combines her unique blend of clinical psychology and eastern mindfulness, Dr. Shefali breaks down this crucial issue affecting families: The Problem : As humans, we are biologically hardwired to connect and need these bonds to grow and thrive. But parents cannot successfully reconnect with their kids until they overcome their own deeply ingrained fears, issues, and traumas which get in the way. The Solution : We have the ability to break down our faulty belief systems and to accept our children for who they are-not who we want them to be. By letting go of the past and appreciating our children as unique individuals, we can reestablish our connections and give them the support they want and need.

Her method can be used to address key behavioral issues and milestones at every stage of childhood, from infancy through adolescence and are crucial for parents in their own development, too.
