This feels like one of the best parenting/relationship books I’ve read. It refocuses on treating your child like a human being with complex emotions but also someone that needs a compass to navigate them. Perhaps more important than the navigation of feelings is just the validation that feels are ok and normal and don’t make you “bad” or wrong. While reading I felt like I understood my wife, my colleagues, my family members, etc. more—which is why I say this isn’t just about parenting…or maybe it’s another reminder that parenting at it’s core is human interaction.

a wonderfully empathetic book that guides parents at any stage through the highlights of a combination of interconnected psychological (IFS) and physiological (nervous system regulation) practices to cope with the behaviors and transform your understanding of your children. It comes with realistic examples and well timed parental guilt check-ins. though it may get repetitive if your just reading it through for information as with most good parenting books.
Excellent for any kind of youth caregiver (parent, grandparent, teacher, coach, etc!) You will gain an understanding of yourself and why you might be parenting the way you are. Chapters are related first to parenting principles, then to challenging behaviors in children/teens. The best part is Dr. Becky offers multiple strategies in each chapter to address each behavior. A must-read.
Saw her TedTalk on repairing relationships, started following her on socials and just had to read this book. It is insightful and non judgemental. She has a way of explaining things with examples that just makes sense. Thanks, Dr. Becky!

All parents should read this book! The advice helps parents heal from their own trauma while raising emotionally capable kids. Dr. Becky is my hero. She doesn’t just give guidance; she gives literal scripts! The best part is that she doesn’t judge and explains why these methods work and acknowledges parents’ humanity with letting us all know it’s never too late to repair and grow.
This book is so compassionate, practical, and encouraging. I wish it had been around when my children were toddlers but I’m still so glad to have read it now when they are heading into the tween years.
