In her new book "Quiéreme bonito," Sol Carmona, a Madrid-based coach and expert in conscious parenting, presents practical guidelines aimed at parents to cultivate the self-esteem of both themselves and their children. She emphasizes that fostering a child's self-confidence is essential for their development and should be prioritized over mere praise, which can lead to dependency on external validation. Carmona highlights the broader initiative, Infancia Respetuosa, an online platform with over 250,000 followers, designed to provide resources for families and educators seeking to understand and respect childhood better.

Carmona's work reflects a growing awareness and shift towards conscious parenting, urging parents to reconnect with their own childhood experiences to better understand their children's needs. She believes that many parents often forget what it was like to be a child, which can create barriers in their parenting approach. The principles of respect, clear boundaries, and building relationships are central to her philosophy and are crucial for developing a nurturing environment where children can thrive.

Through her writing and online platform, Carmona aims to empower parents to make informed decisions rooted in love and understanding, rather than fear of missteps in raising their children. The implications of her approach suggest a movement towards a more empathetic and informed way of parenting that can have lasting effects on children's self-perception and emotional independence.
