A refreshing look at mindful parenting
Alba Carreres, a multifaceted figure who combines her experience as a journalist, APM screenwriter and publicist with her passion for child psychology, has launched an innovative book entitled “Criar amb humor. All you need to know to to conscious parenting”. This work, published by Rosa dels vents in 2024, offers a unique perspective on parenting, with the aim of dismantling myths and reviewing the themes that cross diverse parenting.
A source of inspiration for fathers and mothers
Criar.cat, the web portal created by Carreres in 2020, has become an essential resource for many families looking for parenting guidance. The book, beyond being a guide, offers tools without judgment or opinion, allowing readers to parent the way they want. Carreres emphasizes the importance of not comparing yourself to other families and prioritizing your own needs and priorities in parenting.
Reflective exercises and practical tests
The book includes reflective exercises at the end of each chapter, as well as quizzes that provide clear insight into how to approach everyday situations with children. An example of this is “the firemen’s quiz”, which provides possible solutions to children’s frustrations at different stages.
The deadly triad: sleep, eat and shit
Carreres addresses key topics such as sleeping, eating and pooping, recognizing them as fundamental pillars of parenting. Through irony and anecdotes, the book offers a refreshing insight into these essential aspects of parenting, providing readers with a balanced and practical perspective.
A resource for families and co-parents
The book also addresses co-parenting and offers support for parents seeking more equitable parenting. Carreres critiques gender expectations in co-parenting and offers practical advice for parents who desire a more egalitarian approach to parenting. Through humor and eloquent recipes, the book addresses everyday situations with sincerity and understanding.
