Summary of Shefali Tsabary's The Awakened Family

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 There are two contradictory sides of myself: the one side that is in touch with my daughter’s inherent power and is deeply connected to her, and the other side that reacts to her in a blind and unthinking way, creating antipathy and disconnection. #2 The voice in your head that controls your emotions and reactions is your ego. It is the result of fear, and it is always rooted in fear. It is what drives you to be reactive with your children. #3 The path to a peaceful world begins with a childhood that’s resplendent with a sense of worth and the freedom to be true to ourselves. We were all raised with a plethora of shoulds, and a host of dogmatic impositions on how to be that we began to mistake for our authentic self. #4 The ego is the voice in our head that is constantly thinking about how we can best protect ourselves and our loved ones. It is this false self that creates the first seeds of disconnect with our children.
