Parenting From The Inside Out

Author(s): Daniel J & Hartzell Mary Siegel ISBN: 9781922070937 Binding: Paperback Published: 2014-01-01 How many parents have found themselves thinking: 'I can't believe I just said to my child the very thing my parents used to say to me! Am I just destined to repeat the mistakes of my parents?' In Parenting from the Inside Out, child psychiatrist Daniel J. Siegel, MD, and early childhood expert Mary Hartzell, MEd, explore the extent to which our childhood experiences actually do shape the way we parent. Drawing upon stunning new findings in neurobiology and attachment research, they explain how interpersonal relationships directly impact the development of the brain, and they offer parents a step-by-step approach to forming a deeper understanding of their own life stories, which will help them raise compassionate and resilient children.
