I don’t normally review nonfiction books, however I felt compelled to with this one. It really made me step back and open my eyes to how I’ve been parenting. Even the most subtle communications of stress to my child can change their behavior. The brain is a crazy complex organ that I don’t think we will ever fully grasp. This is a must for parents of kids of all ages and stages, and especially if you have a strong willed, stubborn, highly sensitive one like myself. It made reflect on my own upbringing and how I can do better for my kids, so they can be better for their kids.

Super good. They give real world, relatable examples to help ground your mind and expectations. Very helpful. Something I have personally focused on while raising my very soon to be toddler and remaining calm and not triggered during some very trying moments.

I found this book to be fine. I wanted to like it more, but it felt repetitive of much of the other things I have read and within itself. I also found that this book felt like it was a marketing product, and the authors at times spoke in a patronizing way, spoke because I listened to the audio, read by the authors. I felt like it was just buzz word buzz word buzz word, or our new term again and again and again and the examples were limited and it just did not feel practical or useful or nearly as useful as I wanted it to be.

I have read a number of parenting books, and it's a genre that is all over the place. Often you get advice so philosophical it can't be put into practice, sometimes it's too harsh, sometimes it makes parents into the children's friends instead of their teachers. This book was full of logical explanations that made sense and can be applied to numerous parenting styles. It is honestly one of my favorite parenting books so far, and I have used the advice I read here many times.

A compelling deep dive into empathy and connection. I believe this book would be beneficial, not only for parents, but for anyone looking to create positive outcomes in the challenging aspects of their personal relationships.
