Don’t mind me, just over here healing my inner child by reading parenting books. If you’re reading this as a parent, you’ll likely find the topical chapters helpful (e.g., lying, sleep). I want to keep replacing the language of shame and “disrespect” with the language of understanding and self-compassion.

Reading these books on authoritative parenting reinforces my certainty that children are worthy of love and respect as full humans, and many of us weren’t raised with that belief. However, I also want to keep learning. There are parts that still feel coercive, and I want to keep rooting them out.

I struggle with non-fiction books but love Dr Becky and her work.

I'm a teacher, not a parent, and this book was very eye-opening for me. I've already started using some of the suggested strategies in my classroom and am seeing positive effects. Highly recommended for anyone who comes in regular contact with kids.
