The child gives birth to the Mother.

And so did my son give birth to me, a bright young lady, pretty, smart, educated, fun-loving, responsible and doting mother awaiting her firstborn's arrival, sees her bundle of joy and at first sight does not like the sight of it... It looked like a little monkey to me. Having heard stories of and seen numerous beautiful babies, the beauty of the process of childbirth; there were expectations that my child will look and be a certain way. That abolished in the first few moments, there began a list of suggestions and instructions, to dos and not-to-dos, experience sharing, and guidance on how to parent. Nothing went through, though. Most advice didn't align perfectly with our needs and the urge for trial and error exhausted me.

Not only for the first few day weeks and months but for the first 5 years of my child's life, the mother in me kept learning and seeking advice from experts, doctors, and many, many, many parenting books and articles but nothing really worked perfectly. The wish to be 'The Perfect Parent', kept getting the most out of me and tired me at the same time. The result - I gave up a decade long career as a Professor in Quantitatives at Business Schools to study Children Psychology and Counselling Therapy. Thus began my journey into parenting and contributing to other stumbling parents...

Driving me to contribute to more individuals and parents, my journey into the conscious parenting school of thought began with self-exploration and inner child healing workshops which led me to writing this book today. I wonder how many parents can this book empower. And I wonder how many children will be nurtured and raised into lovely conscious human beings through this book. For me, the mom I be, I am simply happy to see my son all of 17 today. A lad - so wise, caring, balanced and loving, the envy of all parents around me who now constantly ask me 'how did you do this?"

And I reply to them, Parenting is a journey my friend, not a one-time task and it begins at conception, and well before.

So here I am, pouring in between the pages of this book all of my knowing, all of my secrets of parenting and counselling Inviting you, who may be at any stage of parenting, whether you are planning a baby or you are sending your kids off to university you can read and reread this book to give you deeper insights into the world of parenting each time!
