Really good, but so academic I found it very hard to digest. I'm sure there is some great stuff in there!

So incredibly technical, terrible on Kindle platform. I couldn't finish it, though I really enjoyed the personal stories and practical applications when they came up.

I admit I skimmed through parts of this, and the "spotlight on science" sections, though appreciated, sometimes got more technical than seemed useful. But there are whole sections
of this book that I found so profound, insightful, and actionable that I had to give it 4 stars. This
will really change some important aspects of my approach to parenting.

A lot of aha moments for me in this book, it really got my wheels turning on my personal early childhood experience, my husbands and what we have created for our children. It gave me some ideas on how to better engage with my kids and understand why I tend to engage with them in certain ways. A lot of heavy sections on the science and research behind the ideas shared that were not necessarily needed for the average parent, but it was nice to see that there was a lot of research put into the ideas presented in this book.

This one has been on my to-read list for awhile and I finally got around to listening to it. As you may have noticed, I’m on a quest to better parenting journey at the moment.
Here were my thoughts:
Understanding our past and our past traumas helps with our present parenting.
When looking at your past, seeing how intellectual parents that focused on achievement instead of feeing can haunt a person.
Encouraging a child in a way that attuned to their processes and reflection.
Can your child sense feeling felt (seen) by you? Empathy without judgement
Learning happens in a social context. Co-construction.
Instead of trying to fix think of trying to join.
The belief that the self is defective is a child’s conclusion arising from non-contingent connections from parents.
The Shame Dynamic and Toxic Rupture — I do not want to make my kids feel shame for my own shortcomings if I act out in reaction to them.

This audiobook seemed to be the first collaboration for Daniel Siegel. It was okay but I much prefer the writing style of his collaborative works with Tina Payne Bryson. Many times, the writing came off as stilted and stiff, and sometimes it felt judgmental (to me).
