13 Things Mentally Strong Parents Don't Do: Raising Self-Assured Children and Training Their Brains for a Life of Happiness, Meaning, and Success by Amy Morin

4.0

4.5 Stars—While some of the ideas are a little outdated and the book needs a chapter or two dedicated to applying both multicultural and trauma-informed lenses, on the whole, this is a smart amalgamation of empowering, practical advice and strategies for raising children. I love how Morin shares case studies from her social work practice and experiences as a foster parent and appreciates how she breaks down each chapter’s tips to speak directly to preschool, school-age, and teen parents. She does a great job of honoring each developmental stage in its own right. Ultimately, the advice within can be useful for anyone working with children, not just parents.
