Parenting From the Inside Out by Mary Hartzell, Daniel J. Siegel

5.0

This book is fantastic for understanding "the family of origin" and how we were parented in order to effectively relearn healthy patterns of engaging in relationships, including parenting. The hardest part for me to read through were the "Spotlight on Science" sections since a lot that was medical heavy and went over my head, BUT it was interesting since it discussed the intricacies and complexities of the brain. Overall, HIGHLY recommended especially when it comes to reworking your past and redeeming your story in order to be a better parent and human (and I don't mean that as a comparison to your parents, but rather as being the best version of YOU).
