“Mindful
Discipline
should be read by every parent. This book
contains the operating instructions for family life that none of us
received in school. Twenty-five years ago mindfulness saved my life.

children.”

“Shauna Shapiro and Chris White have created a wonderful integration
of the power of mindful awareness and the insights from studies of
child development and the brain to lovingly guide us to a more
rewarding and effective way of being as parents. The science of
attachment reveals that the most robust predictor of our child’s
development is how we have come to make sense of our lives from the
inside out. This book beautifully illuminates how the previously
independent fields of attachment and of mindfulness actually share
common ground—that knowing yourself is the best gift you can give
to your children. An effective way of achieving this parental presence
is through mindfulness, and the stories, ideas, and exercises of Mindful
Discipline
offer a fabulous guide to creating the deep and receptive
internal knowing that will empower your children to become resilient,
reflective, and compassionate beings themselves. What better gift can
you offer of yourself to your child, and the world?”

“This finely and sensitively written book points to the fragility and
resilience of a child’s soul and demonstrates so clearly how in need
each child is of an equally fragile and resilient adult’s guidance. An
adult, however, having been on the Earth much longer, has been able
to add experience to the fragility and resilience and thus becomes the
author of the child’s life until he or she is experienced enough to
become the author himself or herself. This beautiful book is a
wonderful guide to parents who wish to lovingly, mindfully, and
clearly accompany their children at the beginning of their life
journey.”
—Meinir Davies,
management and teaching team
coordinator at the New Village School, Sausalito, CA
“Mindful
Discipline
is the perfect guide for conscious parents and
teachers. Grounded in solid neuroscience, it shows how to be loving
and remain centered, while teaching children to develop their own
internal wisdom and good hearts. This book is a gift!”
—James Baraz, cofounder of Spirit Rock Meditation Center
and coauthor of Awakening Joy: 10 Steps to Happiness
“Mindful
Discipline
is an intelligent and creative approach to the
omnipresent challenge of parenting: how to be kind and loving yet
firm and in control. I was struck by the multiple levels of authority the
authors drew upon: deep scholarship, personal struggles with
parenting, and hard-earned meditative insight.”
—Fred Luskin, PhD,
director of the Stanford Forgiveness
Project and author of Forgive for Good
“The wonderful, authoritative, generous, and warm-hearted guidance
offered by these two skilled parents, educators, and researchers
confirms that the medium is indeed the message. This book, unique in
a world of instruction manuals, engages, encourages, and inspires
parents both old and new to trust their own inherent goodness and
kindness to connect with the impulse to flourish that is part of every
child’s potential, so that parenting and growing up—the most basic of
experiences—become a sacred joy! What a treasure this book will be
to so many people!”
—Sylvia Boorstein,
author of
Happiness Is an Inside Job:
Practicing for a Joyful Life

Mindful Discipline

desires as parents and acknowledge the messy realities of parenting.
They offer guiding principles, specific practices, and, most
importantly, heartfelt compassion for all of us engaged in the moment-
to-moment process of creating healthy, loving relationships with our
children. This book is a valuable resource for me personally, and for
the parents, children, and families I serve.”
—Amy Saltzman MD,author ofA Still Quiet Place
“Drawing from their own experience as parents, plus many great
teachers of our time, White and Shapiro give us invaluable insights
and personal practices to understand and embody the process of
parenting in order to raise loving, conscious humans. This in-depth and
thoughtful book weaves the principles of parenting with precise
instructions for self-inquiry so that both parent and child thrive in the
relationship.”
—Lindy
Woodard, MD,

Valley, CA
“The wisdom in this book rings true for me on so many levels—as a
psychologist, scientist, mindfulness scholar, and most of all, a parent.
In a gentle and accessible manner, Shapiro and White use both science
and wisdom to explain exactly how to hold firm boundaries and loving
limits while being authentic, present, and compassionate—blending
these ingredients into a recipe for creating a harmonious home and
being the kind of parent all of us aspire to be.”
