THE ZEN MAMA is a guide to letting go of parenting expectations and fears to raise courageous, confident kids through free-range parenting. It outlines a way of life to create a chilled parent and a chilled child. THE ZEN MAMA philosophy is that mother and child complement each other in adventures and experiences, always putting safety first but without getting caught up in the anxieties, drama, impossible expectations and mental baggage that too often comes along with modern parenting in this social media and judgemental age. Learning to become a Zen Mama will help you grow and nurture a Zen Kid - a child who isn't afraid to be different, who can stand up for himself or his friends, and can travel the world and experiment with new things without being overwhelmed with self-doubt or being scared. Full of facts, actionable advice and practical tips, this book will be about combining the heart and the head with what works for you and your family, not comparing yourselves to others or meeting a societal standard. THE ZEN MAMA will support and nurture the mother's journey like a wise and sympathetic friend and offers ideas and experience rather than judgement. THE ZEN MAMA will instil in every mother the self-belief she needs to help create a resilient, creative, caring and smart child - and help her survive the journey.
