Raising Good Humans: A Mindful Guide to Breaking the Cycle of Reactive Parenting and Raising Kind, Confident Kids

Written by Hunter Clarke Fields and Carla Naumburg

Narrated by Jennifer and Gilmour

"A wise and fresh approach to mindful parenting.”

—Tara Brach, author of Radical Acceptance

A kinder, more compassionate world starts with kind and compassionate kids. In Raising Good Humans, you’ll find powerful and practical strategies to break free from “reactive parenting” habits and raise kind, cooperative, and confident kids.

Whether you’re running late for school, trying to get your child to eat their vegetables, or dealing with an epic meltdown in the checkout line at a grocery store—being a parent is hard work! And, as parents, many of us react in times of stress without thinking—often by yelling. But what if, instead of always reacting on autopilot, you could respond thoughtfully in those moments, keep your cool, and get from A to B on time and in one piece?

With this book, you’ll find powerful mindfulness skills for calming your own stress response when difficult emotions arise. You’ll also discover strategies for cultivating respectful communication, effective conflict resolution, and reflective listening. In the process, you’ll learn to examine your own unhelpful patterns and ingrained reactions that reflect the generational habits shaped by your parents, so you can break the cycle and respond to your children in more skillful ways.

When children experience a parent reacting with kindness and patience, they learn to act with kindness as well—thereby altering generational patterns for a kinder, more compassionate future. With this essential guide, you’ll see how changing your own “autopilot reactions” can create a lasting positive impact, not just for your kids, but for generations to come.

An essential, must-read for all parents—now more than ever.

This should be a book about children but it is a poor quality guide to meditation. Useless and not interesting

This book literally changed the way I interact with my children and wow what a difference it has made.

Thank you for writing such a profoundly great book.

A thought provoking book that will make you question your parenting style.
I only wish I came across the book a few years ago.
Highly recommended for parents and also to those who are not there yet... As it will likely trigger you to try and understand yourself better, which will eventually make you a better person, spouse and future parent.
For the more practical listeners, have no fear... There are plenty of takeaways, exercises and tips.
