Safety Nesters to Empty Nesters

Parenting is not a fresh chapter. It is a continuation of everything we’ve lived. Safety Nesters to Empty Nesters dismantles the myth that children begin the story; it shows how the story begins within us in the homes we were born into the silences we swallowed and the expectations we internalised long before we ever held a child of our own.Through the ARC Lens - Accept Respect Care the book takes you through three transformations: re-parenting the child you once were raising your newborn without anxiety or performance and reconnecting with your grown children through responsibility rather than regret. It does not ask you to erase the past but to understand it so you stop handing it forward disguised as discipline ambition or love.Instead of perfection or control it offers awareness context and emotional clarity. It teaches you how intimacy is built not through answers but through presence. This is parenting from the inside out not to create flawless children but to interrupt inherited pain. Because when we heal ourselves we do not just raise children. We rewrite the emotional legacy of an entire generation.ABOUT THE AUTHORSnigdha Shevade is a mother entrepreneur and lifelong learner whose writing is shaped by real-life and grounded experiences of caregiving leadership and self-work.
