Self-Reg: How to Help Your Child (and You) Break the Stress Cycle and Successfully Engage with Life by Stuart Shanker

5.0

What a book! The main reason why I liked this book so much is that it pieced together all the other books that I've read on child and adult behavior and delivered (I believe) a sound theory on one of the causes of "bad" behavior - stress.

My main takeaways are to identify potential stressors, observe how these stressors impact ME and my family, take steps to get everyone back to a calm state, THEN attempt to teach and correct the behavior.

Really a great book, definitely adding this one to the personal library for future use.
