The Intentional Parent

Trust yourself as a parent and become more intentional in your caregiving choices with practical, easy advice, tips, and exercises from wellness expert Mallika Chopra and family therapist Kanika P. Chopra. 

Parenting offers incredible gifts: watching, guiding, and celebrating a child as they navigate their unique journey as a human being. But parenting can also be challenging, emotionally daunting, and stressful, and when a parent feels overwhelmed, they can lose that sense of trust in themselves and in their ability to support, nurture, and help their children manage the sometimes rocky path toward adulthood. This is especially true for parents of children ages 0-12.

In this book, wellness expert Mallika Chopra and family therapist Kanika P. Chopra empower you to trust yourself again so you can better trust your ability to parent. They will guide you to: Prioritize self-care to be better at child-care Examine the science behind embodied parenting Manage stress through mindful and meditative exercises Set intentions for how you want to parent Learn somatic awareness to parent more fully Engage your community for support Through interviews with real parents who have learned how to manage their trauma and stress to better serve their children, and by focusing on a multicultural approach to parenting by explaining how parents thrive in a variety of cultures and communities, Mallika Chopra and Kanika P. Chopra give parents and caregivers easy, practical tools to deal with the many twists and turns parenting demands.
