Klinkt veelbelovend, vond ik
Het gaat om Mindful Discipline: A Loving Approach to Setting Limits and Raising an Emotionally Intelligent Child
Vooral onderstaand commentaar maakt me erg nieuwsgierig en hoopvol (en dan heb ik de zin die mij een 'aha'gevoel gaf maar even vet gemaakt):
Ik verdrink helaas in het werk en kan er nu geen boek bijnemen. Maar misschien heeft iemand van jullie er wel trek in...“Shauna Shapiro and Chris White have created a wonderful integration of the power of mindful awareness and the insights from studies of child development and the brain to lovingly guide us to a more rewarding and effective way of being as parents. The science of attachment reveals that the most robust predictor of our child’s development is how we have come to make sense of our lives from the inside out. This book beautifully illuminates how the previously independent fields of attachment and of mindfulness actually share common ground—that knowing yourself is the best gift you can give to your children. An effective way of achieving this parental presence is through mindfulness, and the stories, ideas, and exercises of Mindful Discipline offer a fabulous guide to creating the deep and receptive internal knowing that will empower your children to become resilient, reflective, and compassionate beings themselves. What better gift can you offer of yourself to your child, and the world?”
