EDUCAR PARA CRECER\nHa llegado el momento de que la crianza de los hijos se ocupe de lo que debería haberse ocupado siempre: de los padres.\nUna visión diferente e innovadora de la doctora Shefali Tsabary para la crianza de los hijos. 
Prólogo del Dalai Lama.\nLa doctora Shefali Tsabary explica que nuestros hijos solo pueden convertirse en adultos conscientes si nosotros, como padres, procuramos elevarnos a un estado superior de consciencia.\nCambiando por completo la idea tradicional de crianza de los hijos, la doctora Tsabary aleja el epicentro de la clásica relación padres-hijos basada en que los primeros «lo saben todo» y lo lleva a una relación mutua en la que los padres también aprenden de los hijos.\nEste innovador estilo parental reconoce la capacidad de los hijos para provocar una profunda búsqueda interior, lo que origina una transformación en los padres: en vez de ser simples receptores del legado psicológico y espiritual de sus progenitores, los hijos obran como «facilitadores» de su desarrollo. Ahora el centro de atención reside en la afinidad recíproca y la asociación espiritual del viaje padres-hijos.\nEn el enfoque de la doctora Tsabary sobre el estilo parental, los hijos funcionan como espejos del «yo olvidado» de los padres. Tan pronto como recuperan su esencia, los padres entran en comunión con sus hijos. Los unos y otros descubren su capacidad para relacionarse en un estado de presencia.\nENGLISH DESCRIPTION\nInstead of being merely the receiver of the parents' psychological and spiritual legacy, children function as ushers of the parents' development. Parents unwittingly pass on an inheritance of psychological pain and emotional shallowness. To handle the behavior that results, traditional books on parenting abound with clever techniques for control and quick fixes for dysfunction.\nIn Dr. Shefali Tsabary's conscious approach to parenting, however, children serve as mirrors of their parents' forgotten self. Those willing to look in the mirror have an opportunity to establish a relationship with their own inner state of wholeness. Once they find their way back to their essence, parents enter into communion with their children, shifting away from the traditional parent-to-child "know it all" approach and more towards a mutual parent-with-child relationship. The pillars of the parental ego crumble as the parents awaken to the ability of their children to transport them into a state of presence.
