Excellent resource

This book offers examples and real life scenarios to assist with everyone’s relationships. Loved every minute of this audible!

Good start to understanding you and your children

at first i felt it wasn't the right book for me as it starts with early parents and i have older children. but as the book continues, it builds and prepares you to understand how your child reacts and their personalities are based on their personalities and reactions as they were infants and toddlers. it ends as children grow and how you as a parent grow. a nice transition that i didn't expect but needed.

10/10 recommend

Highly recommend for every parent who wants to break generational patterns of trauma; a must read for anyone wanting to have a strong bond with their child ❤️
