Love this approach to positive parenting by making connections, validating, and remembering we are all innately good. I’m also a big fan of growth mindset and it never being too late.
I got through 90% of this in 2023 before it was due back at the library and just now was able to get it back to finish. I am a big fan of Dr. Becky and feel like all parenting books should be like this! It was empowering without feeling condescending. Parenting from a place of self-compassion helps us be more compassionate with our partner, our children, and other people around us. She gives concrete examples of how to handle specific situations and most of them feel like they’d actually play out like they do in the book. She focuses on relationships and boundaries.
I have read a lot of parenting books and this was the best one yet. It has led me to so many useful and realistic shifts in perspective.
Rounding up from 3.5 stars
I read this book in 2 installments, as I had to return it to the library and wait for it to come up on my holds again. I read the first half, and then got it again to read the second half with all the examples. I really liked the premise of the first half--especially the most generous interpretation (MGI) principle. I like Dr. Becky's general approach, and wish I had had some coaching with it when my kids were younger. The second half of the book does address specific needs, but with a decided focus on younger children. I would really appreciate some more teenage examples and how to handle things as the "jobs" in the family change as children grow. I also wanted a few more examples of how to handle things when you have multiple children with multiple needs that you're trying to juggle at once. Every example was just 1 parent and 1 child; I'd appreciate seeing examples where the behaviors are put in context of a more complex family system.

I have more nuanced thoughts to come, but this is important reading for every parent.

This book was relatable on so many levels in both my personal and professional life. I think my favorite parts were the examples that showed adult exhibiting the same or similar behaviors as our children (right now I recall the story about the parent throwing the cereal box). These REALLY made me reflect on how we treat children when we focus on behavior instead of what’s underlying the behavior. I’m still not great at being calm & zen when parenting triplets feels out of control, but it helps to know this book exists and that I can go back to it again.
I’ve been a Dr Becky fan for a while. She has great and reasonable advice for parents. I like how this book did not only focus on small children, rather Dr Becky discusses scenarios for all age groups. I also found that her advice surrounding our own emotions/triggers as parents was helpful.
