Learn how their brains and developing and how to reach them when they won't open up to you. I had high hopes for this book, and in many ways it is very helpful in terms of creating a mindset for peaceful parenting. However it falls short in providing actual practical examples, and seems to be primarily focused on how to deal with tantrums/melt-downs. There are many other parenting challenges parents face (bedtime struggles, ignoring, pushing limits) - all normal kid behaviours, but still a challenge for tired/hurried/regular parents. At first I thoroughly enjoyed this book, but I was left feeling like I didn't actually have any new parenting tools in my toolkit other than "be compassionate" - which hopefully I mostly am, hence my seeking out this book in the first place.... The reality: Nope. I don’t. Although even in the area of industrial organizational psychology, the data is very clear that employees perform better and companies are more successful if the leadership culture is one of compassion alongside expectations and firmness. But remember, your child is not an adult. Your child is a child. With a child’s brain. And with all of the realities that come with an immature brain in terms of behavior and emotional regulation. See number (1) above and get on the program of growing them a brain that is going to help them sort out how to best conduct themselves in the workplace, and also, how to best manage their stress if they happen to have an asshole boss. What don’t we get? Well, let’s take a good look at some of the most common retorts and remarks that will be offered up in response to any kind of suggestion around compassionate parenting, especially when it comes to discipline. We try to press upon children realities of the adult world, the idea that we want them to be in control of themselves. The reality is, kids don't have self-control because their frontal and prefrontal cortex are immature. We know that the brain develops from the bottom up, meaning that the core or the foundation of the brain is the first circuitry that really takes root, and the rest of the brain will layer up on that foundation.

The book isn't all bad. The emphasis on developing a trusting relationship with the child is, if not practical, at least encouraging. Early in the book she presents the idea that children don't know how to calm themselves down - those neural pathways haven't developed strongly yet. So having a parent guide them through that over and over helps those pathways develop until they are able to do it by themselves. I wish there had been more on this point. You will also discover the link between praise and motivation. In this chapter, I illustrate the concepts with examples and exercises that you can use today! This guide will help you across your child's whole childhood. It provides solutions that are respectful to both you and your child without the need for yelling, spanking or punishing. So that your love, and growth will have a domino effect on all that witness it.
