Everyday Blessings: The Inner Work of Mindful Parenting (edition 1998)

Over opvoeden als oefening in aandacht en inzicht, mogelijk in wederzijdse versterking met meditatiepraktijk. Boek spreekt aan om opnieuw en met andere ogen naar mijn houding tav opvoeden te kijken. Wel is het wat langdradig ne heeft het de neiging zo nu en dan in off topic zijwegen (borstvoeding, kinderen wel of niet in bed, etc.) te belanden.

A great book for introducing mediation into parenting. A real must to get through the hard days and realise that there is good in them too. ( )

A little too hippy and let them have what they want when they want style of parenting. Maybe it was the way I was raised but kids are supposed to listen. That said the "mindfulness" that is at the center of the book is critical to not only shepherding your children through the start of their life but for the parents to cope with what can be enormous mental and emotional pressure. Immanent catastrophe indeed. ( )
