Move from helplessness to stability as a parent through the ancient practice of equanimity, or balance. Drawn from Buddhist wisdom and with practices included, this new approach to mindful parenting is about slowing down, letting go of the illusion of control, and caring for yourself so that you can show up as a presence of love and care for your children even in their most difficult moments. We love our children more deeply than our own selves, yet are powerless to keep them from pain. Drawing from her own experience parenting a clinically depressed and suicidal child and another through physical injury, Celia Landman guides parents at their limit back from helplessness to stability through the ancient practice of equanimity, or balance. Rich with real life examples from parents in the midst of caring for children in crisis and plentiful resources, each chapter offers accessible practices for parents to care for themselves in order to care for their children. Contemporary neuroscience and developmental psychology research demonstrates how a parent’s state of anxiety is directly communicated to the child and can intensify their pain. Landman gently guides parents to restore their own balance through understanding how to keep their heart open and their hands off the wheel of controlling how their child’s life unfolds. This shift into equanimity frees emotional enmeshment and can bring relief to both child and parent. Woven throughout are practices to help parents understand that their emotional state of being is as important as what they do. When we recognize that being a presence of love and care is already doing something of great value, it can reconnect us with purpose and restore our trust that we are capable and enough.

There is no one-size-fits-all parenting bible. Parenting is something we need to constantly adjust as our child grows, no matter if we have a plan or not. And the chief reason we keep adjusting and adapting is that every child is unique and the most effective way to ensure they are reared and nurtured the way they deserve is when parents give their best into understanding what their children are good at, help them realise their potential and then fulfil their purpose in life. In this book, Joseph and Sharon share many of their own experiences as parents themselves and entreat all parents to be perfect parents for their children without being perfect themselves. They do this by talking about what they did well and also the mistakes they made so that parents reading this book can learn from them. They invite all parents to make becoming the perfect parent a journey…a work-in-progress… so that, like them, every parent can constantly adjust and adapt to new discoveries about their children. This book offers many perspectives about parenting – all what Joseph and Sharon have been through themselves – that parents everywhere can use or at least try, if the situation fits. Because every child is different, even twins, parents need all the help they can get to make the most appropriate decisions regarding their children. Parenting is not easy but it is a noble calling. Our children deserve our very best. This book hopefully helps all parents become the perfect parent…one day.
