The Conscious Parent by Shefali Tsabary - A Review


"Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them."
And this is how this book can be (Spoiler alert ⚠️) Summarised!

"The Conscious Parent" by Shefali Tsabary
👪
My toddler (guess I can call him that now) is barely 16mo and God! He's ready to snatch my Drama Queen Crown already. As he gains more awareness each day, more challenging tantrums, tricks and ticks show up. And that was enough to shake me up from my comfort zone of fiction reading and pick up another 'informative' book. So here goes... 
👪
TCP is a 17 chapter, medium sized, feel good read whose main focus is ground zero of parenting - before attempting to raise good humans, fix yourself first. 

If you come from a good place, believe in the inherent goodness and wisdom of human beings, you'll find it much easier to understand your babies and grow up and grow them well. 

It addresses topics like handing out chores to kids, dealing with anger issues - yours and your children's, doing "nothing" with children, dealing with expectations etc. The last chapter is the longest one and it's about punishment and dealing with bad behavior and setting hard boundaries. 
👨‍👩‍👧
Out and out, the book makes you feel good, gives you insight and, obviously, starts with the first step of good parenting. But if you're looking for specific hacks and tips, a Q&A manual or a more knowledge dense read, you'll have to keep looking. 
👨‍👩‍👧
A nice start if you're diving into your parenting journey.

Delhi Through the Seasons

Good books I just dive into.  But better books I save for good occasions. Like this one, that I saved for my trip to the mountains. 🌸 'Delhi through the seasons' by Khushwant Singh 🌸 Having aptly been called the modern Barahmaaha, with a theme of nature, DTTS talks about the rotating wheel of seasons in Delhi and North India, in general. Having been written by the maestro Khushwant, based on his diary entries and his observations as a bird watcher (it was a surprise for me too to find another feather in his hat), it addresses one aspect that all other Barahmaaha treatises of the past chose to ignore - nature - flowers and birds and animals. I'm not an outdoorsy person per se, and my meagre knowledge of flowers and trees is something I've given up my hope on. But thanks to the divine illustrations by Suddhasattwa Basu, I felt as if I was sitting in Lodi Gardens while reading this one, surrounded by fragrance and chitterings.  🌸 So read this one to get to k...

From Pique to Peace

Hey lovely people How are you all doing? Any news? No news? Well that does mean good news, because no news is good news *wink wink* But these days, we have even stopped talking about bad news. Sometimes out of insecurity, other times out of the fear of being laughed at. In my case too, I would hide any bad happening in my life whenever I can, just for the (innocent) pleasure of snatching that victorious smirk, that flutters for a second, on the ill facades of "well wishers" when they get to know about your bad times. Haha! Who needs paying for spiritual motivational classes (synonym - phony religious ashrams) after this. I already let out their trade secret - be the smug jerk, who though may be having a terrible break up or suffering a boring marriage, who might be in debt upto his eyes, or might be flunking all the college subjects, but would still rub the face of the world in dirt by telling them about his contentment and newfound bliss, new diet or regime a...
