Summary
Details

In today's fast-paced world, parenting can feel like a constant cycle of reacting instead of reflecting. The Reflective Parent offers a compassionate, practical path toward awareness, connection, and growth.

Written by Dr. Simone A. Phillips - an educational psychologist and licensed mental health counselor - this interactive guide helps parents and caregivers explore their natural ""parenting patterns"" and understand how those patterns shape everyday moments with their children.

Through relatable stories, reflection prompts, and guided moments of awareness, The Reflective Parent encourages parents to move beyond control and correction toward co-regulation and calm connection. Readers will discover how awareness deepens when they pause to understand what's underneath the moment - and how each pause becomes an opportunity to grow alongside their child.

Created for parents, educators, and professionals, The Reflective Parent is both a mirror and a map - one that transforms messy moments into meaningful ones through the power of reflection.
