A Book About Parenting, But Not Just For Parents!

Eli is warm, funny, and engaging as she teaches about attachment therapy and the ways its underlies all of the other parenting theories and ideas most of us are juggling!

The three things (amongst many!) I loved about this book:

1. This isn’t a book that needs you to throw out your other tactics or parenting ideologies, but rather it tells you WHY these tools work and how to construct a healthy, attachment-based foundation that will make all of the other things WORK

2. I left this book feeling positive and empowered about changing some of my less than ideal parenting tactics versus feeling overwhelmed or regretful about past parenting choices that feel less than ideal now.

3. This isn’t just for parents! Yes, a lot of it deals with the practical act of parenting, but it also highlights a lot of challenging parental behavior that many of us may have have experienced, why it doesn’t work, and how it impacts people. It is a fascinating and meaningful chance to assess your own upbringing and explore a new perspective on how to love and support any kiddo in your orbit.

This is a book I think I will come back to again and again!

Best Parenting Book I Have Ever Read!!!

This book is absolutely incredible and unbelievably helpful. Eli is a genius and does a wonderful job narrating as well. She is able to make the research digestible and applicable to any parent. I am so grateful to her words of wisdom and years of research in helping me on my own journey be the best parent I can be for my children. If only my parents had this book when I was younger! But it today!!!! You won't be disappointed.

Such a beautiful mix of science and real life application.

I have been dreaming of a book like this! Not only does it guide you through what secure attachment looks and feels like, but it helps you as an adult recognize the consequences of your own attachment with your caregivers and how it transcends into your parenting. Really beautifully written.

Real examples to use when you need them!

Wonderful guidance and a great listen. This is a book I will regularly re-listen too and keep improving my parenting skills.

Practical science based and sound advice

As a single mother of two toddlers, I found the practical resources, scripts, research and science based advice in this book to be incredibly helpful for me as I navigate this new chapter for my boys and myself.

One of my favorite parenting books!

I’ve read dozens of parenting books throughout my life and this one just shot to the top of my favorites! Eli does such an amazing job breaking down the importance of attachment science in the parent-child relationship. Her humor, metaphors, examples and relatability make for an incredible book. I loved hearing her read it too. I’ll be gifting this to parents-to-be as well as recommending to my clients.

Great so far!

I’m only a couple of chapters in but I am loving the content already! The narrator (she’s also the author!) has a great voice for audio. If you’re wanting to learn how to deal with your **it so you can be a better parent and raise kids with secure attachments, this book is for you! Eli is therapist we all wish we had, and I believe her book is going to help me on my path to being the best version of myself, the best partner, and the best mom I can be!

So many tips

I recently listened to "Raising Securely Attached Kids" and found it to be an incredible and transformative experience. Previously, I had an anxious attachment style, but through my own healing journey with psychedelic medicines, I have become a securely attached person. This transformation has profoundly impacted not only my partnership but also my parenting. The tips and insights provided in this book are amazing and incredibly helpful. Ensuring that my children are raised with a secure attachment is a top priority for me, and this book has been an invaluable resource in achieving that goal. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to foster secure attachments in their children.
