“A wise and fresh approach to mindful parenting.”
—Tara Brach, author of
Radical Acceptance

A kinder, more compassionate world starts with kind and compassionate kids. In
Raising Good Humans, you’ll find powerful and practical strategies to break free from “reactive parenting” habits and raise kind, cooperative, and confident kids.

Whether you’re running late for school, trying to get your child to eat their vegetables, or dealing with an epic meltdown in the checkout line at a grocery store—being a parent is hard work! And, as parents, many of us react in times of stress without thinking—often by yelling. But what if, instead of always reacting on autopilot, you could respond thoughtfully in those moments, keep your cool, and get from A to B on time and in one piece?

With this book, you’ll find powerful mindfulness skills for calming your own stress response when difficult emotions arise. You’ll also discover strategies for cultivating respectful communication, effective conflict resolution, and reflective listening. In the process, you’ll learn to examine your own unhelpful patterns and ingrained reactions that reflect the generational habits shaped by your parents, so you can break the cycle and respond to your children in more skillful ways.

When children experience a parent reacting with kindness and patience, they learn to act with kindness as well—thereby altering generational patterns for a kinder, more compassionate future. With this essential guide, you’ll see how changing your own “autopilot reactions” can create a lasting positive impact, not just for your kids, but for generations to come.

An essential, must-read for all parents—now more than ever.

“To raise the children we hope to raise, we have to learn to become the person we hoped to be…. This wonderful book will help you handle the ride.”
 —KJ Dell’Antonia, author of
How to Be a Happier Parent
 
“Hunter Clarke-Fields shares her wisdom and personal experience to help parents create peaceful families.”

Editorial Reviews

Review

Raising Good Humans brings a wise and fresh approach to mindful parenting. Drawing from her own struggles with the challenges of parenthood, Hunter Clarke-Fields outlines the key skills that are necessary to step out of stories of not good enough and to create more loving, cooperative, and harmonious family relationships.”
Tara Brach, PhD, author of Radical Acceptance

Raising Good Humans is the guidebook parents need to instill confidence, mental health, and independence in our children while building a durable relationship with them. Written with the compassion, clarity, and truth of someone who’s helped families with a variety of issues, Raising Good Humans is chock-full of insights, strategies, and exercises for becoming a more mindful parent. Hunter Clarke-Fields is a persuasive evangelist for the power of meditation in our lives and our children’s lives. Her book will transform your life for the better—if you embrace the journey. One of the best parenting books I’ve ever read.”
Katherine Reynolds Lewis, author of The Good News About Bad Behavior

Raising Good Humans is a loving and honest road map that teaches parents ways to skillfully navigate challenges, as well deepen joy, connection, and love with our children.”
Shauna Shapiro, PhD, professor in the department of psychology at Santa Clara University, and author of Good Morning, I Love You

 “Hunter Clarke-Fields gets it: to raise the children we hope to raise, we have to learn to become the person we hoped to be—and both goals are a journey, not a destination. This wonderful book will help you handle the ride.”
KJ Dell’Antonia, author of How to Be a Happier Parent, and former editor of The New York TimesMotherlode blog

“After reading Hunter Clarke-Fields’s fantastic new book,
Raising Good Humans, I found myself hopeful, if not downright happy, about the future. Young parents are the most important leaders on the planet, and this guide will both inspire and instruct them how to immediately stop raising kids and start leading their babies into good adults.”
Hal Runkel, New York Times bestselling author of ScreamFree Parenting

Raising Good Humans is a clear and direct guide to transforming your relationships with your kids. Rich with touching stories and practical exercises, it shows how healthy parenting stems from your ability to be self-aware and embody what you want most for your kids. Parents everywhere will benefit from Hunter Clarke-Fields’s wisdom, humor, and practical guidance in navigating the messy terrain of raising children.”
Oren Jay Sofer, author of Say What You Mean

“In
Raising Good Humans, Hunter Clarke-Fields shares her wisdom and personal experience to help parents create peaceful families. Readers will find information and exercises to enhance their ability to ride the rollercoaster of raising kids while maintaining their own sense of emotional equilibrium.”
Joanna Faber and Julie King, coauthors of How to Talk So Little Kids Will Listen and its companion app, Pocket Parent 

“One of the most difficult tasks anyone can undertake is having and raising children. In
Raising Good Humans, Hunter Clarke-Fields instructs and reminds us that children need more than food, clothing, and shelter. She tells us what the ‘more’ is and how to provide it. Thank you, Hunter.”
Iyanla Vanzant, host of Iyanla: Fix My Life (OWN)

Fantastic Strategies
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and enjoyed doing the work and testing the suggested strategies. Being a new parent, I was desperately searching for a new way to parent my hyper-active 5 year-old son. I was tired of all the yelling and needed a better was to communicate with him effectively. And the biggest thing this book helped me realize is that, ITS OK. It's ok if things don't get done the parents way and taking a different path to achieve the goal is ok as well. Also, to simply calm down in heated moments, which it suggests practicing meditation (I've enjoyed this, it really works).I will say you do have to put in the work and it is a huge unlearning process. Unlearning how I was raised and brought up. And he talks about that in the book ,but I will continue to use these strategies because I feel more calm and the strategies are effective.

    This book is amazing, it’s an approach on mindfulness in your reaction and interactions with your kids. It’s full of practices that test you every day. It’s not the kind of book you can just read all the way through at one time, you have to actually put the work in

    it changed our life: helped show me that though the person needing “turned good” or ‘fixing’ isn't the child, it is always you - however it was gentle and easily manageable to work through with this author holding my hand . I recommend this book to anyone looking to be a better parent - just be prepared to do the WORK. On ya self. 🖤

    I loved this book. It was probably a little Buddhist heavy for some but it really doesn’t come across preachy or as an advertisement for Buddhism.

    This book gave me so many pointers and instead of jumping right into the ‘meat’ of strategy of how to deal with difficult kids, it gets you to look at yourself first. You deal with your past programming and the author has you learn to be more mindful and calmer so that you can pass that calmness into your children.

    Like I said I really got a lot out of it. But it’s a book meant to be studied and practiced not just read through once quickly. Which I was fine with!

    As a first time mom i dont know what im doing 90% of the time but this book helped me feel so much better about myself and my parenting. Im actually reading it for a second time because of how helpful it has been. I recommend this for all parents as it has definitely made me a more mindful and patient parent.

    This is an amazing book. It was hard for me to put it down. It had me in tears, recognizing the reasons for my own faults and understanding the trauma that caused them so that I can change and break the cycle of reactive parenting. I immediately noticed the difference in my communication with my children, and the way that they communicate with me. My only hope now is that I can get my husband to read this book as well.
