Description

“A wise and fresh approach to mindful parenting.” —Tara Brach, author of Radical Acceptance A kinder, more compassionate world starts with kind and compassionate kids. In Raising Good Humans, you’ll find powerful and practical strategies to break free from “reactive parenting” habits and raise kind, cooperative, and confident kids.Whether you’re running late for school, trying to get your child to eat their vegetables, or dealing with an epic meltdown in the checkout line at a grocery store—being a parent is hard work! And, as parents, many of us react in times of stress without thinking—often by yelling. But what if, instead of always reacting on autopilot, you could respond thoughtfully in those moments, keep your cool, and get from A to B on time and in one piece?With this book, you’ll find powerful mindfulness skills for calming your own stress response when difficult emotions arise. You’ll also discover strategies for cultivating respectful communication, effective conflict resolution, and reflective listening. In the process, you’ll learn to examine your own unhelpful patterns and ingrained reactions that reflect the generational habits shaped by your parents, so you can break the cycle and respond to your children in more skillful ways.When children experience a parent reacting with kindness and patience, they learn to act with kindness as well—thereby altering generational patterns for a kinder, more compassionate future. With this essential guide, you’ll see how changing your own “autopilot reactions” can create a lasting positive impact, not just for your kids, but for generations to come. An essential, must-read for all parents—now more than ever. “To raise the children we hope to raise, we have to learn to become the person we hoped to be…. This wonderful book will help you handle the ride.” —KJ Dell’Antonia, author of How to Be a Happier Parent “Hunter Clarke-Fields shares her wisdom and personal experience to help parents create peaceful families.” —Joanna Faber and Julie King, coauthors of How to Talk So Little Kids Will Listen Read more

  • Game Changer
So many books talk about being the model parent and that's how you get your kids to cooperate more but nobody tells you how to do it. This one does. It's simple, inspiring and gives you the tools to effectively change your own habits and then in turn change the habits of your children and creating a peaceful environment for your entire household. 10/10!!! ... show more

  • Best parenting book!
I have attempted to read a lot of different parenting books. But I have all of the books and all of the programs and all of the people I have read articles and blog posts from, no one summarizes how to handle parenting, quite as well as this book. I absolutely love how he talks about figuring out my own triggers and how to handle my anger and emotions. I feel like it’s a very applicational book and a really great read. ... show more

  • Good read
It’s a good read . I don’t know why I thought this book was something different than it is. That’s my fault. But for the topic it discusses it’s pretty good. I personally didn’t get anything from it - but I let some friends read it that needed it and it was great information for them . It’s worth the read . ... show more

  • Overall good
Overall a good book with good advice, but there is a solid chunk that is on mindfulness practice and the book basically says that you HAVE to be able to meditate to move forward with the rest of the book which made it feel very unapproachable for me due to my adhd. I am glad I stuck it out because once that part was over, I was able to get some good insight and advice on raising my kiddo. I would definitely recommend it with the reminder that there is no one size fits all approach to mindfulness and meditation is certainly not the only way to be mindful. ... show more

  • Great read
This book has a lot of great information. It has helped me become less reactive as a parent. It does have some “homework” throughout, but it directly impacts the helpfulness of this book.

  • Life changing.
This book is truly life changing as a parent. Sooooo many aha moments. I’ve read it twice and I’m about to read for the third time but in paperback and use my highlighters to mark my favorite parts to reflect back on and be more diligent about doing the exercises. I got a notebook specifically for it. I highly recommend this read to all parents. ... show more
