My name is Éva, and I'm grateful that you're visiting my Aware Parenting (AWP) page.
'Kisari' is my maiden name, and I would like to dedicate this profile and the work behind it to the memory of my father.
In the fall of 2022, I came across a podcast where I first heard about the Aware Parenting approach.
However, the real change in my life came when, as a result, I read Aletha Solter's book "The Aware Baby." It was a huge "aha" moment. I arrived, I understood... all the puzzle pieces fell into place about how to raise a child so that the relationship with our child is based on respect and genuine cooperation, without yelling or punishment.
What I didn't realize was what a great gift I could give my daughter by providing her with the kind of healthy emotional foundation that most of us weren't fortunate enough to have. Looking at myself through this lens initiated serious changes in me, helping me heal, feeling lighter day by day, and becoming better.
Aware Parenting is a democratic approach to raising children based on Dr. Aletha Solter's work, neither authoritarian nor permissive. One of its most important principles is that children's emotional lives begin in the womb, and that even with the most attentive, loving, responsive, attachment-based parenting, they experience stress from the fetal stage onward.
Crying and laughter are natural mechanisms for processing this stress, or trauma. Accordingly, the methods of this approach include allowing crying while being held in arms/embraced (not letting them cry alone!), as well as connecting and healing games called attachment play. A child who can regularly release accumulated tension through crying and/or laughter with their parents' devoted attention will have a good appetite, be naturally cooperative, learn easily, and be free from violence and sleep disorders.
The method can be applied from newborn age, but it's never too late to start. Practicing it daily brings at least as much relief and healing for the parent as it does for the child.

Attachment Play is a central element of Aware Parenting. It uses lighthearted, imaginative, and often silly play to help children process emotions, reduce stress, and reconnect after challenges. These playful interactions build trust, ease tension, and help your child feel deeply seen.
