I like how this book approaches discipline from a very loving and positive perspective. It’s all about trying to CONNECT with and TEACH your child rather than immediately inflicting punishment. The authors main point is that as parents, “our job is to give unconditional love and calm presence to our kids even when they’re at their worst (110).” We want our children to “feel felt.”
The book was longer than it needed to be because some of the principles were drawn out or restated again. Not every principle resonated with me, which is okay, because they acknowledge that there’s no one-size-fits-all way to discipline. Context matters, and we need to be flexible in the way we respond to different behavior with different kids in different situations.
But overall I really liked the tips and information in this. I found all the psychology very interesting too. I think this book is a great resource for all the parents who are struggling to “keep calm and carry on” with their kids… which I’m pretty sure is all parents.

I'm not completely sold on the methods this book presents. While the authors encourage a very loving and gentle approach to discapline/teaching and parenting that sounds very appealing it is hard to see how this method will actually stand up to real life situations and one wonders if parents will be setting their children up for failure when they encounter the real world where teachers, bosses, and others are not going to "connect, redirect, or reflect" with them about misbehavior, bad descisions, emotional outbursts etc. That said there are certainly some useful tools here snd some thought provoking questions that are worth spending time on.
I do wish the authors presented a list of studies to back up their claims instead if just saying "studies show" without citing any whatsoever and I wish there were more practicle examples of discaplining young children. They do give examples for a wide range of ages and that's great but the reality is that many of us are trying to figure out how to parent and teach through the terrible twos and this book offers little direct help there.
All that said, I would still call this a worthwhile read.

An approach to disciplining your children that focuses on compassion, connection and helping your child’s brain develop important skills and lessons.
I learned some very valuable information and methods from this book. My boys are a little too young to use the full methods but I can definitely take parts of this and begin introducing the concepts now. I definitely want to use more of an empathy-based approach than fear-based when disciplining the boys.
