Summary:
Who we are, how we are, and what we have experienced profoundly shapes how we parent, whether we are fully aware of it or not. Siegel and Hartzell use new research in the fields of neurobiology and attachment theory to help readers better understand the impact their childhood experiences have upon their parenting styles and relationships with their children. Using strategies from this book, parents can help themselves heal, form secure and loving attachments with their children, and find the tools for raising compassionate, resilient children.
