Robyn decodes the latest brain science into easy-to-understand principles and metaphors to help you become an expert in your child's behavior. She reveals simple ways to help you regulate and connect with your child, with brain-, body- and sensory-based strategies to overcome day-to-day challenges. She also provides you with the knowledge to understand and regulate your own brain so that you don't flip your lid when your child flips theirs.

Very relatable.

I really enjoyed how the author followed the story of the parent and her child. Very well written and I got a few helpful nuggets.

A great book for awareness and effective action

I found this book to be one of the most relatable and effective parenting books I have read in quite some time. Within days of starting conversations with my kids about their “watchdog brains,” I found them coming to me acknowledging when their watchdog brains had taken over. I so appreciate the self-awareness that this book fosters, both in me and in my kids.

The experiences and issues the child had and the explanation on how to regulate

I loved the book it was very informative. Provided great details on how to deal with behaviors and how to support a child

As a therapist I recommend this book all the time

This is a very readable book with a great explanation of the nervous system. I highly recommend.

What an easy and informative listen

It is easy to listen to Robyn, it’s as if we are just having a kind conversation with each other. She’s so easy to listen to and the knowledge that was taught to help me see my kid’s big behaviors (and mine too!) were so helpful. Thank you thank you!

Eye opening

I love how realistic this book is and gives real, raw experiences that parents can relate to.

Wonderful parenting book!

I appreciated the concept & learned a lot! The style of writing and narration was excellent. Highly recommend.

Not Alone!!!!!

Finally a book that speaks my life. People I'm around do not understand what's it's like to be a parent to watch dog or opposum brain children. It's truly had , and man do you feel so lost and most the time on the edge of hopelessness. This book and the Author truly points your story to words and she gave me such a better understanding of why my children have baffling behaviors. I have a 16 yrs old daughter and an 11 yr old son. I've walked in darkness, fear and heartache for years . I was able to take a deep breath in and fully release so much anger, confusion, self blame, fear , stress, anxiety, and depression as I had the most relieving exhale I've had in a really, really long time!!! Thank you so much

Did you write this for me?!

I had an OMG experience with every paragraph. I want to listen to it again to make sure I infuse more understanding into my owl brain and everyday parenting.

Extremely Needed

Digestible, helpful, and something I’ve recommended to several others already. Thank you for the effort put into learning these lessons and sharing them with us. Thank you for choosing to make it accessible to those in need.
