Dr. Tsabary advocates for conscious parenting, a mindful, emotionally attuned approach that prioritizes connection over control. Conscious parenting doesn’t mean being perfect—it means being present. It asks parents to look inward, recognize their own emotional patterns, and respond to their children with empathy rather than reactivity.
This style contrasts sharply with traditional authoritarian models that often rely on obedience, fear, or power dynamics. Instead of asking, “How can I get my child to listen?” conscious parenting asks, “What does my child need from me right now?”
By shifting the focus from controlling behavior to nurturing connection, parents help children build emotional intelligence, resilience, and a strong sense of self-worth.
