What a wonderful book! It is rare and heart-warming to find a book on parenting that is at once, wise, vulnerable, humorous, scientific and inspiring! All this is contained within the tender pages of Parenting Magic. Karen Shaw’s blend of warm personal stories as a single mom of three boys, combined with a rich review of the most useful theories in child and adult psychology, including the powerful Energy Alignment Method, make this a book that will appeal to parents of all backgrounds, ages, and beliefs. Give this gift to yourself. Bruce Cryer, founder – Renaissance Human, former CEO – HeartMath
Conscious communication is central to my own work, which is why I am so keen to recommend Karen’s book to parents everywhere. Our kids, the next generation, will be more conscious, capable and grounded from being raised by more conscious parents. From my medical background, treating adults with addiction and low self-worth, I understand the power of the messages we receive from our caregivers in childhood, the knock-on effects to their development and even the choices they make as adults. I love that Karen has dedicated a chapter of her book to explaining the neuroscience of child development in plain English so that everyone can understand. When we better understand our roles in our children’s development, we can parent more confidently and responsibly, knowing how to pass on more of our knowledge and life lessons, and less of our pain or anxieties. Andrea Pennington, MD – Author, The Real Self Love Handbook
At last a parenting book that makes sense for all parents regardless of what age their child is, or the situation they are facing. Since the beginning of time parents have been navigating unconsciously in the dark as they try to do the best by their children. With no parenthood manual, much of what we demonstrate is either moving to or away from what we have personally experienced ourselves as children. Karen Shaw brings a new dimension to parenthood, in this messy and often times complicated modern world. Empowering parents to understand the power of their thoughts, words and actions in order to consciously navigate this parenting journey fully supported and allowing their children the freedom to be themselves. Kezia Luckett Positive Psychologist Msc – International bestselling author and motivational speaker
