They say children don't come with a manual. If I had to pick one book to give you the tools to understand your role as a parent, it would be this.

Gift it to yourself and everyone you know.

This book set us on a revolutionary path to peaceful family life and I’m here to tell you that it's possible. No time-outs. No traditional “disciplining” needed.

It taught me that every behaviour is an outward sign of an unmet need and I learned how to see past the behaviour to connect with what my son was trying to communicate. Connection over correction.
