Parent Pages Book Club

Parent Pages

Parent Pages is a gathering for parents, caregivers, and grandparents anyone interested in exploring a more conscious, connected way of raising children. Our aim is to build awareness of how our own beliefs, assumptions, triggers, and unexamined patterns shape our parenting. We want a place where people can learn, share honestly, reflect deeply, and grow together in ways that benefit our children and ourselves.

Who Should Join
This group is for anyone who wants to explore different perspectives on parenting and grow in their capacity to create healthy, conscious connections with children. Whether you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or simply curious, whether your children are young or older, this work applies. You’ll gain from others’ experience, from honest conversation, and from witnessing change in your own home and heart.

About The Parenting Map

The Parenting Map by Dr. Shefali Tsabary is a practical guide for developing healthier parent-child relationships through three distinct stages. The first stage helps move from frustration to clarity by uncovering what is at root when we feel overwhelmed or reactive. The second stage invites us to recognize and break free of dysfunctional patterns—many of which were passed down or formed unconsciously. The final stage helps us move from conflict toward connection, with concrete, actionable steps for becoming more aware, present, and emotionally available. Across the 20 steps in the book, Dr. Shefali gives tools to shift from external measures of success to valuing presence and authenticity, to transforming relationship dynamics rather than simply controlling behavior.

What You Will Experience

  • A structured reading plan for The Parenting Map, broken into manageable sections.
  • Guided discussions that dig into both what the book says and what it means for each of us personally.
  • Reflection prompts and exercises to try between meetings so that reading turns into practice.
  • A community of people who understand the messiness of parenting and want to grow, not just “do better.”
Group Dates
1 hour (Tuesdays at 12-1pm), Session Dates: October 21, October 28, November 4, November 11, November 18, November 25.

How to Participate

Why This Matters Now
In a world full of pressures—social expectations, comparison, distractions, conflicting advice many parents feel exhausted or unsure. The Parenting Map offers clear tools for breaking free of unhelpful beliefs, for choosing responses instead of reacting from old hurts, and for creating relationships with children based on trust, authenticity, and emotional safety. For our kids, this means feeling seen, valued, and capable. For us, this means growing in confidence, reducing guilt, learning to be present instead of always trying to meet external benchmarks. By joining, you bring your own vulnerabilities; you also gain hope, insight, and support that can ripple through your life and your child’s.

How to Join
Parent Pages meets regularly to read and discuss. Each meeting will have a section of the book assigned ahead of time, reflection exercises, space for sharing, and opportunities to practice new ways of relating.

 Participation is open, questions are welcome, and everyone is invited. Your voice matters. The cost to participate is $350.
