It took me months to get through this because I kept abandoning it for more entertaining things. Part of the reason was that I'm familiar with most of the ideas and there wasn't a lot of new insight. So it's not the most exciting read but it is crucially important. Chapters 8 and 9 are the best ones. I saw a behaviorist complaining it doesn't offer solutions. Put down the sticker chart and sit with this for a while. And then maybe spend some time listening to neurodivergent people instead of people making money off trying to change them.

Phenomenal book that illustrates how important regulation and relation are when working with children, from a perspective rooted in neuroscience, and with many case study examples.

This book is filled with so much-read it twice and put into action! It also has helps for parents and educators alike. It isn’t all about the behaviors, but building strong positive relationships!

I think this would have been better for me to read than to listen to.

Unfortunately this book didn’t have magic bullet answers for the struggles I face in my practice, but I can forgive it. With a heavy emphasis on the therapeutic use of self, a nice dose of compassion for the patients, and an openness to psychiatric intervention, this book holds a lot for interdisciplinary members of the care team of kids with behavior issues. I have already found myself using terms of red, green, and blue pathway while conceptualizing patients and will be looking more into polyvagal theory.

So so so good. I want to buy a copy for every adult that interacts with my children
