This is a pretty good parenting book. There’s nothing groundbreaking in it, but it is a good collection of tools wrapped in a nice package of always assuming best intentions (the “you’re good inside” or “you’re a good kid having a bad day”).

I definitely recommend it for parents with young kids.

If you want the content/tips in the book an alternative would be to watch a few seasons of Daniel Tiger. If you want some theories about why Daniel’s strategies work and some real life anecdotes of how to incorporate them with a dash of parental reassurance then this book is for you. Ultimately nothing groundbreaking for me but some good tips overall i. line with my parenting goals. Examples and scripts do feel like they lean toward younger kids despite the author reassuring that they work with kids if all ages.

There were a lot of good tidbits and new ways for framing behavior that are helpful. It’s not my favorite parenting book, but it did lift me up and add tools to my parenting toolkit.

I think all parents should read this book. Not only I learned what are the underlying needs behind kid’s misbehaving, I learned to accept and love myself and heal the wounds with my since childhood.
