Really thoughtful approach to parenting, and relationships in general. Particularly liked the examples that compared how I might react in a situation, as an adult, compared to the expectations I often place on a child. Not every chapter applied to issues I'm currently having, but overall, well worth the read.

Probably a 4.5 for me, not sure why it wasn’t a 5. I think it’s honestly a really good book that sides with kids and wanting to work with them instead of expecting them to fall in line. I guess some of the role plays weren’t my style, but I would otherwise still recommend it.

I think parents need constant constant reminders to put themselves in their growing child’s shoes, and this book does it exceptionally well. You could glean a lot of the wisdom within this book from Dr. Becky’s IG if you aren’t sure if this is a style of communication is for you.

I discovered Dr. Becky Kennedy through Glennon Doyle’s We Can Do Hard Things podcast. To say that Dr. Becky’s philosophies and parenting techniques are lifechanging is an understatement.

This is the most helpful, important book on parenting I have ever read. I completed a book study towards teacher certification hours and I’m so thankful I did.

If you are looking for a compassionate way to parent your children that is connection based, check this book out. There are many different scenarios discussed with scripts to guide you through handling them. I really appreciate the sections that address parent needs as caregivers, and the chapter about DFKs (Deeply Feeling Kids).

There is an exclusive discount to join Dr. Becky’s Good Inside membership in the back of the book, and there is also a Good Inside Podcast to check out too.
