Though there have been countless studies on how attachment styles affect our romantic relationships, Raising Securely Attached Kids is the first book to reframe the subject for caregivers and children, and brings transformative change to your relationships of all stripes.

Therapist and wildly popular attachment research expert Eli Harwood (@attachmentnerd) illuminates the science that explores our innate human need to bond with other humans, and helps us harness it as the only parenting approach proven to have a lasting impact. Her loyal following—fast approaching the millions—connects to Eli’s accessible approach that helps everyone form secure and close relationships with their kids, which helps them develop resilience, confidence, and form close relationships in the future.

Hopeful and inspiring, this essential evidence-based guide shows parents, educators, and anyone with children in their lives that they are not alone in the questions and concerns they may have about raising confident, capable, and caring kids.

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.

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.

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.

Best Book I've EVER listened To In The Therapeutic Space!!

SO many things to LOVE about this Audiobook.

Read by the author, who makes this an absolute JOYFUL BREEZE to listen to (even through the tears that may come).

Filled with profound information, that Eli (somehow) communicates in the most simple & understandable way WITH actionable behaviors & scripts you van apply immediately.

This may be my favorite audiobook of ALL TIME & I think every single human would be benefitted personal by reading it. Society will undoubtedly be made better as a whole every time one human listens to this. Even if you don't think you are looking for a book like this, you do. Not only, but especially, parents.

I will be recommending this to every human being I know.

Well done, Eli! It's not every day or ever person who can say they have created something so impactful for the entire positive continuation of humanity. What an incredible purpose you have realized for yourself.

I can't express my gratitude enough for the blessing this (and you) is, and will continue to be for myself personally, & my precious children.

Educational, relatable, heart warming, captivating! Loved the entire thing!

Eli did such a great job at communicating the critical role of attachment and how that can lead us to a very fulfilling and healthy relationship with our kids. Seriously so good! I even bought the hard copy too so I can highlight and let that stuff sink in a little more!

Awakening!

I wish I had this book years ago, but I know it’s not to late, working to focus on attachment with my teens now!
