There was lively and supportive conversation discussing Dr. Shefali Tsabary’s challenge to shift the focus of parenting away from changing our children to conform to our expectations, and towards seeing them as a mirror to reflect back to parents what they need to change in themselves. Our Book Club continues with the second meeting on Tuesday Sept 20th. The Book Club meets from 7 – 8:30 p.m. in the school library.
The book for our Fall semester is The Awakened Family: A Revolution in Parenting by Shefali Tsabary Ph.D »
This recently published book will help parents develop skills and gain insights to have greater calm, compassion, and wisdom in parenting.
Each Book Club meeting will be an informal discussion related to the selected readings and an opportunity for parents to share their experience in response to the material presented in the book. The reading groups will be facilitated by AP Psychology teacher and Marriage and Family Therapist Intern, Mark Lederer.
Meetings are as follows:
Tuesday, September 6 Chapters 1-7
Tuesday, September 20 Chapters 8-12
Tuesday, October 4 Chapters 13-18
