Better People Make Better Parents

Parenting with a Twist

Becoming a better person automatically makes you a better parent

In television and in books, parenting is so often described as a chore or a burden. Children are seen not as the treasures they are, but as things that need to be handled.

The truth is that parenting is a calling as much as any professional career is, and like any calling, it will put you on a spiritual path towards growth and happiness. Good parenting creates good people, and Dr. Blessing offers you a step-by-step guide to realizing the truth potential that arises when you care for a child.

"An uniquely measured approach to parenting not seen in the average book.” – Mervin Low, MD

Insights from the book

My Stories

As a type A person. I had "just in case" plans for every scenario in life. A health scare was not enough of a reminder to de-stress until I learned how to be in the now by observing my kid.

Aha Moments

I can learn from even a child if I am willing to be teachable and it is a hell of a lot easier to teach by example.

Exercises

Lose your inhibitions and be child-like once in a while. I have done that a few times in public to the dismay of my child, who then states "OMG, i don't know this crazy lady"

What People Are Saying

  • "Dr. Blessing doesn’t dole out advice on how to get your child to clean up his or her room. Instead, she takes an out-of-the box view on how to connect with your child through practicing gratitude and by staying in the “now” of your kids. It is a must read that should be on the book shelf of first time and long time parents alike.”
