About this listen

The relationship between parent and child is more reciprocal than you might think. Your child’s well-being has a noticeable impact on your own well-being, which is why love - above all else - should fuel your parenting. When you strive to see life through the eyes of your child, you’ll be empowered to try new parenting practices.

You must grow alongside your children - intellectually, emotionally, as well as spiritually. Greater involvement with your children will lead to an increased awareness of the world around you and inject new meaning into your life. You’ll become more compassionate, exercise empathy more often, and feel fully present.

Grow Together: Parenting as a Path to Well-Being, Wisdom, and Joy is a manual for parents and professionals alike. Each chapter has been thoroughly researched and concisely written by Josette Luvmour, PhD, to provide helpful, data-driven advice. Everyone - from adoptive parents and extended family to therapists and physicians - will find useful information inside.

Luvmour is all for innovation and transformation in childcare. Contemporary parenting is on the cusp of a new paradigm, and this book will guide you there.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Transformation Ahead

Looking for support to transform your relationships with children? You've found it. Josette combines decades of experience and knowledge with a deep sense of inner knowing and wisdom to bring to the most important aspect of our lives: our relationships. I came to learn about Natural Learning Relationships with a deep desire to be with my students and children in a different way than my parents and many adults were with me. I found a way to begin that journey through the insights and wisdom presented in Grow Together. “Many parents find themselves caught between wanting to be close friends with their kids and needing to be an authority figure in a culture that has, for decades, rejected authority figures. They want closeness with their kids and respect at the same time, but they don’t always know how to get such things. Fortunately, children want the same things: closeness and respect”(page 14). Children experience respect and closeness differently at different ages. Grow Together teaches about the different developmental stages and how to form relationships that are close and respectful at each stage.

When we learn to meet children where they are, we also meet parts of ourselves along the way. Many times, our greatest urge to control our children or force them into compliance comes from outside the relationship and from our own past experiences as children or outside influences. In entering the world of children, I have created more well-being for myself and begun to understand my own experience as a child in new ways. I am learning to nurture myself in ways I was not nurtured in childhood through nurturing my children now.

Grow Together provides a framework for a new kind of awareness that operates as you interact in your normal daily life. The aim of Grow Together is not parenting tricks or tools to get children to behave without punishment or rewards. It is planting seeds of wisdom and letting that wisdom grow within you as a parent or guardian or teacher in your entirely unique relationships with children.

I feel more confidence, connection, willingness to repair, and openness from the work Josette Luvmour presents in her book. I am not afraid of my children and growing and changing as they age, because I now have the awareness and knowledge to meet them wherever they are and grow and change with them.

The audiobook is extremely easy to listen to and the reader is hypnotic! You'll want a pen and paper nearby to capture notes if you don't have the print version of the book as well.
