* The art of asking for help, with ways to get the support you need and deserve

* How to choose the right words to encourage the behaviors you want to see in your child

* Why not all battles need to be fought, and how you an improve your experience by picking the right ones

* Why empathy matters and how to teach it to your children

* The difference between discipline and punishment, with clear strategies like parent time-outs and the 5 x 5 rule

* All the advice you need to parent in the era of screens-including technology tips and when to get your child a phone

* Why it isn't selfish to take time for yourself, the benefits it will bring you, and practical ways to make it happen

And much more.

It's an easy-to-understand book packed with realistic examples, science-backed practices, and short reflections you can do even on hectic days. If you want calmer days, softer reactions, and a deeper connection with your child... start here. Listen to it beginning to end or dip in and out as needed.
