The Map to Conscious Parenting with NY Times Best-Selling Author, Dr. Shefali on The Divorce & Beyond Podcast #289

This week on The Divorce & Beyond podcast, Susan Guthrie, Esq., welcomes NY Times Best-Selling Author Dr. Shefali as she shares insights from her newest book, “The Parenting Map”
Dr. Shefali is a clinical psychologist and NY Times best-selling author of three books, including Conscious Parenting and The Awakened Family. She joins Susan to discuss her latest book, The Parenting Map, and the importance of integrating all aspects of ourselves into our parenting.
You’ll also hear why Dr. Shefali emphasizes the need for parents to work on themselves to support their children fully. The conversation touches on the impact of social media on children's development and the importance of being present and attentive as a parent in a world filled with constant stimulation and comparison. 
Dr. Shefali offers insight and practical advice on how to best navigate conscious parenting and create deeper connections with our children.
Topics and Golden Nuggets include
Why parents must take responsibility for their growth and transformation to become conscious parents. The focus of parenting needs to be on the PARENT.
A perspective shift for parents to focus on their children's relationship with activities rather than their attachment to the outcome
The importance of integrating our shadow elements and not shaming our children for theirs
The impact of screens and social media on children's development includes a lack of ability to tolerate frustration, decreased attention span, and disconnection from reality and their own feelings.
