not as much practical advice/examples of conversations or scenarios as I would have liked, but I love the clarity and simplicity of the philosophy, and can clearly see, here and in my own life, how the breakdown of any part of the circle (autonomy, mastery, belonging, generosity) could lead to any number of maladaptive behaviors from kids. or adults!
the circle of courage is based on indigenous childrearing practices and beliefs,and is the under-cited forebear of Carole dweck's growth mindset work.
I recommend for any parents or teachers!

The authors hope to bottle compassion. While I think that compassion is better seen and imitated that described and imagined, this book admirably lays out well-grounded principles on which a teacher could begin to create a truly inclusive classroom.

this textbook!! is so good!! i learned a lot about child development and how we as adults with influence over children either in the home or the educational world can help develop and nurture them. the lens of Native American community practice was super enlightening and made for a great model that i hope we as a society can start applying to our communities (or really lack thereof in contemporary society)
