Parenting with Purpose

Parenting with Purpose is a heartfelt and empowering guide for parents, caregivers, and guardians who want to raise emotionally healthy, confident, and resilient children-while also healing the child within themselves.

Written by licensed clinical social worker and therapist Cleo Dasent-Green, this book blends therapeutic principles, faith-based wisdom, cultural insight, and lived experience to help parents move from reactive parenting to intentional parenting.

Rooted in Caribbean cultural values and Christian principles, Parenting with Purpose explores how our upbringing, generational patterns, and emotional wounds influence how we parent today. Through reflection, practical tools, and real-life case studies, readers learn how to nurture not only their child's behavior-but their emotional well-being and identity.

Inside this book, parents will learn how to:

• Build strong emotional connections with their children
• Understand different parenting styles and their impact
• Practice discipline that teaches rather than harms
• Break unhealthy generational cycles
• Foster emotional intelligence, confidence, and resilience
• Parent with intention instead of reaction
• Create a legacy of healing, love, and purpose

This is more than a parenting book-it is a call to conscious parenting. Whether you are a parent, guardian, grandparent, educator, or helping professional, Parenting with Purpose offers compassionate guidance to help you raise children who feel seen, valued, and secure.

When parents lead with purpose, they don't just raise children-they shape futures.
