Great information but like others have said, did not feel like there was much by the way of practical hands-on suggestions. Pretty disappointing in that regard.

interesting concepts that I tried to use in the classroom but very repetitive and 'every child is different' sort of adages without enough strategies

Wonderful compliment to Peaceful Parenting, Playful Parenting, et al. because it covers the biology behind these parenting methods. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is that it provides absolutely no self-reg methods to actually try. I think the author would argue that self-reg is so particular to each person, that no one approach works. I would have liked to see the range of possible approaches covered at some level.

What a book! The main reason why I liked this book so much is that it pieced together all the other books that I've read on child and adult behavior and delivered (I believe) a sound theory on one of the causes of "bad" behavior - stress.
My main takeaways are to identify potential stressors, observe how these stressors impact ME and my family, take steps to get everyone back to a calm state, THEN attempt to teach and correct the behavior.
Really a great book, definitely adding this one to the personal library for future use.
