MBG - On Spirituality, Ego & What To Do When Our Kids Are Unkind

Shefali Tsabary, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist and author of the award-winning parenting book The Conscious Parent as well as Out of Control: Why Disciplining Your Child Won't Work and What Will and The Awakened Family: A Revolution in Parenting. As a clinician, she expertly integrates Eastern and Western philosophies to help parents-and entire families, for that matter-become happier and more mindful.
So what are some of her thoughts on parenting? For starters, she believes that children are here to teach us as much as we are here to teach them. She also encourages parents to acknowledge and understand how their egos are playing a role in their decision-making process. Dr. Tsabary and I talk about this, how social media and technology are putting our children at a psychological disadvantage by making them less capable of handling aloneness, rejection, or waiting-and so much more.
The truth is children are living such different lives than they used to, and it's up to us to make sure we're keeping our perspective while also keeping up. After sitting down with Dr. Tsabary, I have a few new thoughts on rules, discipline, and helping my daughter find her purpose. Don't miss this one!

My Parents of cours messed up with some things. As will I with my children. What at least my mother did right, was to hold herselfe true to her belive "our children come throu us yes, but they are not ours town nor keep" she repeted it to me now that I am pregnant. And I realized a lot about her. How she wasen't absent. She just disapeared in to the background of my memories cuz my father was the one who was more in my face with all his wisdome and all his fears and all hopes and wishes and wants and needs and teachings, disiplins and unsecuritys...

The discipline paradigm into the no trigger no incidental conditioning, you set boundaries on you first; rules vs lifestyle, rules are there because you don't represent those principles 10:20
Want your children to learn? Then you learn it, learn it as a stoic or an Epicurean, if not possible don't and then don't impose it to your child; 16:40
Unkindness is suffering, they're under pain; Plato Gabor, kind critique and kind inquiry; inner lush garden means lush unassertiveness 24:00
Emotional freaking out and micro interventions; Vipassana and similar practices. 30:00
Don't buy into culture, experience it, debunk it and live the mystics teachings. 34:00
