A revolutionary new parenting method by the New York Times bestselling author of The Conscious Parent and The Awakened Family.
Every parent is capable of raising happy, healthy, and emotionally grounded children. Despite this, too many of us struggle along the journey. From the fast-changing realities of social media to the fear that permeates our culture, to the generational expectations that are unconsciously placed on children, the pressures on parents and children have reached a critical moment. We feel it and our children feel it. But there is a solution.
With over two decades experience working directly with parents, acclaimed clinical psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Shefali offers a profoundly practical and groundbreaking parenting solution that helps parents actualize their deepest desires for their children. This step-by-step guide disrupts toxic inherited patterns and replaces them with authentic connections that allow us to see and respond to our children for who they are and who they can become.
This is the evidence-based manual that every parent has been searching for. Complete with paradigm shifting wisdom, illuminating client stories, and detailed practices, The Parenting Map guides the way to empowering our children while transforming ourselves.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2023"The Parenting Map" is a practical step-by-step guide to fostering a meaningful connection with your children and raising empowered children. Dr. Shefali's approach to parenting is refreshing and eye-opening. She challenges traditional notions of parenting and encourages parents to embrace a more mindful approach to raising their children.
What sets this book apart from other parenting books is its emphasis on the parent-child relationship. Dr. Shefali recognizes that the key to raising confident and resilient children is by nurturing a strong and healthy connection with them. She provides practical tools and exercises that parents can use to develop this connection.
Throughout the book, Dr. Shefali shares her own personal experiences as a parent and offers insights and advice based on her years of experience as a clinical psychologist. Her writing is both insightful and compassionate, and she speaks directly to the heart of every parent who has ever struggled with the challenges of raising children.
"The Parenting Map" is a must-read for any parent who wants to raise confident, empowered, and resilient children. Dr. Shefali's wisdom and guidance in this book will transform the way you parent and will help you develop a deeper and more meaningful connection with your children.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2023Dr Shefali’s wisdom has been on my radar for a while. Before I found her I had read other “parenting inside-out” books. All with heavy language and concepts out of psychology books. None of them was relatable. Dr Shefali’s books offer deep wisdom for an everage person. This is exactly what it should be. Especially this step-by-step Parenting map is a must have for any parent on a self-awareness journey. I don’t have to be sold on “what” and “why” but this book really showed me “how” can I change the way I experience my children for my sake and theirs. The only thing I wish was different is a graphic design for the book. It may not seem relevant to many but I am simply puzzled with the choice.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2024Another book I’m glad I invested my time and money on. It is easy to understand, specially when you read it with an accepting mindset. It not only helps to heal yourself and feel more peace, but you will also be able to fix the mistakes you’ve been making while raising your child and you will also gain compassion for your parents, spouse and others by understanding the deep side of why they act and do the things you dislike.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2024I needed every sentence in this book. I will recommend it to every parent I know! Loved the incredible wisdom and insightful teachings the whole way through.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2024Enjoying the book
- Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2023This book is truly the how to guide that parents need especially after the past few years. The steps help us identify our patterns and understand ourselves and our children. This book has specific examples and ideas on what we may do without even realizing it and what we can now do and say. It’s a how to on connection. The idea of being a conscious parent is broken down into digestible steps and you can truly feel the pressure lift from your shoulders. Liberating and peaceful. Everyone needs this book!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2023Dr. Shefali’s mission in bringing conscious parenting to families is changing the world! Her work is genuine, inspiring, healing, and transformative—it unleashes the true you! And when the true you is found, your children will naturally thrive! It is by far the best gift to give your children and yourself. My life changed for the better the day I read the Conscious Parent, and I continue to grow with each new book Dr. Shefali shares. Dr. Shefali has now mapped it ALL out, step-by-step, in her wonderful and brilliant new book, The Parenting Map—it’s easy to understand wisdom teachings, combined with Dr. Shefali’s intelligence, and wonderful sense of humor. Wether you are a parent or not, this book will resonate with you!

- Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2023full disclosure- I am a long time fan of Dr Shefali and have read all of her books, seen her live at MindValley, attended an Evolve event and taken courses. Not only have I been transformed by her wisdom and teachings as a parent, but also as a wife, daughter, friend, sister, aunt. She really has a gift! She always said she wouldn't write a step-by-step but I am grateful she changed her mind. These steps will lead you down a path of self discovery that will instantly improve any relationship you are in. While it is presented as a parenting strategy, it is truly a way of life and when you practice it, you too will see how amazing you and your children are. And you will be able to intercept and change generations of negative, unhealthy patterns. I recommend going through the book with friends or a book club because it will help to discuss the steps out loud and see how you can apply them to your life. You are instantly a better parent just for taking the interest in this and wanting to find ways to improve and be better. 🤗

DaphneReviewed in Canada on March 6, 20235.0 out of 5 stars I AM SOOO ENERGIZED BY THIS BOOK!
I am so ENERGIZED by this book! Dr. Shefali has done it again, folks! Another incredible resource to help us all be better, conscious humans so we can show up for our children. This book is accessible and offers great journaling prompts to help us reflect and course-correct.
I often tell the principals I lead that the BEST leadership books are by Dr. Shefali because they teach us how to GO WITHIN and look at our patterns and triggers. The Parenting Map will NOT disappoint. Thank you, Dr. Shefali, for bringing your message to the world.

Amazing read. I have explored a lot about myself reading this book. The things which I felt were right to do to my kids were totally wrong. Just an eye opener. After 1 month of the purchase and reading it I can say my relationship with my kids has blossomed.
