Definitely some good parenting advice in here. It felt like it could have been a long blog post and I would have gotten the same information out of it. Nonetheless, I've been bringing some of the ideas into my parenting in the last few months and they have been very helpful. I would recommend a skim if you're a parent.

This book, like everything Dan Siegel writes is incredibly helpful. He takes the most complicated matters and simplifies them for the average person to deeply understand. I would recommend this book for every parent, educator and practitioner.
More than ever before, our children are hungry for our presence Dan and Tina help us understand how to offer this well, from hearts that our healing from our own hurts They give practical examples that will help us all be better people in this world.
Buy this book and anything with Daniel J. Siegel's name on it.
The publisher provided an ARC through Netgalley. I have voluntarily decided to read and review, giving my personal opinions and thoughts

I like all the Siegel and Bryson parenting books. This is no exception. Although, admittedly, this one took me a bit longer to read than the others. This is only because all of their books have a lot of overlap so I would stop often when I got to sections that felt familiar.
My favorite of their books is still The Yes Brain followed closely by No-Drama Discipline. I always recommend people start there.
What I appreciate in this one is that the focus is more on the parent than on the child. What I mean is they ask parents to reflect on their own upbringing in order to understand how they are parenting now. They spend a lot of time addressing attachment styles and helping parents learn what secure attachment looks like. And as per usual, they give you all the research-backed reasons for why secure attachment is best for your child’s optimal brain health. (All the stuff I love)
This is a great read for any parent - or anyone who works with youth - who is in the process of reparenting themselves and hoping to break cycles with their children. And with capitalism, patriarchy, racism. colonialism and all other reforms of systemic oppression, we all need some reparenting on some level.
