Mindful Discipline: A Loving Approach to Setting Limits and Raising an Emotionally Intelligent Child by Shauna Shapiro, Chris White

3.0

Mindful discipline outlines the difference between permissive, assertive, and authoritarian parenting styles with prolific examples to illustrate how the different approaches play out on real life. The intention of the book is to encourage parents to take an assertive approach to discipline and subsequently explores the assumptions and worldview underpinning this style.

With an emphasis on growing yourself up before raising a child, the book offers helpful mindfulness practices with each chapter.

However, this book is written more academically than other books and can be difficult to get through. I would recommend exploring conscious discipline literature or Brene Brown’s work for more accessible and memorable exploration of the same concepts.
