“One of the first things I learnt as a parent was that I was human. As much as I wanted to do the “right” thing, the truth was that I was flawed. I was flawed because we all are, whether we like it or not. We get emotional, get frustrated, feel tired, feel pulled apart, and have very little time for ourselves. It’s not the best set of circumstances to build an awesome parenting foundation, yet there we are, warts-and-all, be-speckled in all our triumphant and disturbing glory, trying to get things right for our kids.” Tania Rose Tania Rose condenses a wealth of knowledge and experience into an easy-to-understand book offering ideas in parenting. Underpinning her experience as a mother of 3 boys was her work in disabilities, which caused her to re-evaluate her preconceived notions of motivation and behaviour. Using a range of techniques she developed during her roles as a carer, social educator, and a mother, Tania developed a style of parenting that goes back to basics, and presents it as a no-frills and easy to read book on parenting in thoughtful ways. Tania Rose acknowledges the need for families to develop unique tools that reflect their own parenting styles and the specific needs of the members of the family unit. She explores why children exhibit certain behaviours and how we can harness those desires to guide and nurture our family. She shares communication techniques which support long-term goals, whilst addressing short-term needs, in a simple and no-nonsense fashion. Mindful Nurturing is as much a book for parents at the beginning of their journey as it is for those in the middle of it. She also speaks about many techniques she has also used with children living with disabilities. This is not a book about psychology or theory, but rather of living practice, where the organics of family are as much a part of developing unique techniques specific to your own family’s needs as anything else. This is not a book on how to be a parent, but more a guide to developing your own workable solutions which fit your own family needs. “I’m no expert. I’m a mother. I am also a musician, creative artist, and a passionate music teacher. Sometimes I’m a mentor, sometimes a colleague, a collaborator, and a friend. Most importantly, though, I am blessed with being a mother and living with my three beautiful boys. They are each unique and precious, and we share an amazing life, full of all of life’s hurdles, challenges, and extraordinariness, just like every other family. Me, my husband, and our three fabulous boys make up our typical family unit. We consider ourselves a normal family full of extraordinary people, as we value our uniqueness in many different ways. This book is short on purpose. We’re all busy, and some of the ideas here could be spoken about with more detail, but I’ve tried to get to the point with some sense of clarity, and without too much waffle. When you only have limited time, you appreciate a quick read. “ Tania Rose Whether you are struggling with parenting, at the beginning of your journey, or simply looking to tweak your parenting style, there’s something for everybody in this book, and being short it won’t take long to devour its contents.
