THE PATH TO WRITING CONNECTED
Guest Post by Dr. Seema Desai
As a kid, I often felt like life was harder than it should be. I felt misunderstood, unheard, and not really sure how to help myself through that. When I became a parent, those feelings all came back to me. As I discovered concepts from mindfulness and got coached around parenting, the tools and frameworks used in both started to really change how I connected with my child.
It was so powerful that I started teaching these concepts to my kids, and our entire family dynamic shifted dramatically. I saw just how impactful these tools were for my family, especially for my kids, as they learned to show more empathy and compassion towards each other and themselves. I saw them getting angry less and build communication skills that most adults I know do not have.
I thought, “Every kid, every family, should have this for themselves.” So, I wrote Connected: Discovering Your Inner Guides. I sincerely hope it helps kids and families experience life with more joy and ease.
