About this audiobook

Have you ever wondered if you’re doing it right as a parent? This book was born from that question. Raising with Serenity draws on the principles of Stoicism—a philosophy more than two thousand years old—and translates them into practical tools for modern parenting. No perfect formulas, no ideal children. Just seven principles that serve as a compass: Control, Discipline, Perception, Acceptance, Responsibility, Clarity, and Truth. A guide for parents who want to raise their children with intention.
