Parenting is not giving your child everything they want. Parenting is not being your child's friend. Parenting is about preparing your child to be a useful and respectful person in society.

Being a friend to your child is the best gift you give to your child.

If you are truly serious abut preparing your child for the future, don't teach him to subtract teach him to deduct.

Being a caregiver for your child is part of the job description of being a mammal.

You learn more about yourself through your child, I guess.

For me, conscious parenting is staying attuned to your child, being really open and in the moment. It means staying as present as possible in your own breath for the betterment of your whole family.
