After a long day at work and for some super parents who have college and assignments to deal with, all you want to do once you are home is rest and unwind. Sadly that is usually not possible with children. At the end of the day, you have zero energy for those you love and sometimes the children get to experience the brunt of your stress.

This has happened and you have asked yourself at least once, how you can keep your bad mood from affecting your children. The simple answer lies in conscious parenting. This is a more mindful approach different from other parenting styles. Based on the bestseller book, The Conscious Parent: Transforming Ourselves, Empowering Our Children by Dr Shefali Tsabary, parents are taught to manage their behaviour, thoughts and feelings first and foremost.
