Great parenting book and honestly therapy book
Such a great read as a parent and as a teacher. One I plan to return to many times for reminders about how to be the best example I can be for my daughter and for my students.

I'm not usually big into self-help books, but I've wanted to read this one for a while. I started following Dr. Becky on Instagram several years ago and found her approach helpful, so reading her book was my next step. I listened to this as an audiobook over the course of about three months, partly because I'm not always in the mood for parenting content and partly because I returned and re-borrowed it on Libby a couple of times.
In short, if you are a parent who wants some guidance and you're looking for a solid parenting book to pick up, I wholeheartedly recommend this one. Dr. Becky's advice is backed up by her professional credentials and experience. She delivers her advice in an engaging, compassionate way. Some of it feels a little "cheesy" at first, but you can always take or leave it as you see fit.
This isn't just another "gentle parenting" book - Dr. Becky shares strategies for being a "sturdy leader" of the family, enforcing boundaries while also connecting with your child(ren). She provides useful frameworks and ideas for parenting children of almost any age. I tried some of her ideas with my older daughter as I was reading, and at least one really helped and provided a moment of connection!
I loved listening to the audiobook, which Dr. Becky narrated herself. I also bought a physical copy while reading because I think I'll find myself wanting to revisit certain chapters over time.
As I said earlier, if you're a parent who wants to read a single, relatively comprehensive parenting book, this is a great choice!
