Parenting from the Inside Out
Most of us are on autopilot until we aren’t and that includes our parenting styles. This is a must read for new parents who want to raise compassionate and resilient children while stopping unhealthy generational patterns that came before us. This book draws on neurobiology and attachment research and explains how interpersonal relationships directly affect the development of the brain in an easy-to-read format while also providing a step-by-step approach to raising compassionate and resilient children.
Born for Love
I get asked all the time “how do I raise a good human?” My simple answer is instilling empathy, and this starts young. Babies are born with the ability to intimate and mirror you on their first day of life and this continues and become more complex on as they develop. Outside of the child’s brain’s natural ability to mirror your actions, perspective taking is a critical skill for the development of empathy. This book brings the latest research on empathy, why it’s endangered and how to bring it back.
“Born for Love places love where it belongs: at the heart of human experience. “
