About this listen
“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-listen for all parents - now more than ever.

Invaluable information on mindful parenting
Beautifully narrated, this book is a must read for all parents who are dedicated to understanding themselves and cultivating healthy relationships with their children. I only wish I had read it ten years ago as my son was growing inside me. The real life examples of different scenarios were much appreciated, as were the alternate, more healthy solutions when we find ourselves in conflict with our children. I’ve only just finished the book and have already put so many of Hunter’s tips into action and immediately see the shifts in how my son and I are connecting. Thank you for this gift!

Laurens review for Raising good Humans.
I found Raising good Humans to be extremely beneficial when it comes to how I parent my children. It has given me lots to think about and plenty of tools to use to help me be the best Mum I can be. I highly recommend this to any parent who wants to learn how to be calmer, to prevent yelling & provide the best care & unconditional love to your children.

excellent
Excellent book. Narration a little rushed - too little time between paragraphs/points/sentences. Will likely have to purchase the hard copy of this book to fully absorb!

Great book for those interested in mindfulness
Content really well-researched and resonated with me.
Narrator has great voice but editing was terrible. Lots of broken sentences stitched together makes them sound like the sentences run into each other, rather than a natural sounding narration. Made it difficult to listen to.

Thank you!
I enjoyed listening to the suggestions offered in this book. I’m hoping it’ll be helpful as I work on growing as a mum, and modelling this for my kids.

Being mindful is the key
This book does a great job of describing how most parents feel and then helps guide you to be present and less reactive to your child in the everyday interaction you have. Would recommend this book to parents who would like to be more calm while parenting their children.
