âMy go-to for how we all raise good humans, including ourselves!â âDrew Barrymore
In the age of high-pressure parenting, when so many of us feel like weâve got to get everything exactly right the first time, Dr. Aliza Pressman is the compassionate, reassuring expert we all needâand the one whose advice we can all use. Already beloved by listeners of hit podcast, Raising Good Humans, Dr. Pressman distills it all with a handful of strategies every parent can use to get things right often enough: Relationship, Reflection, Regulation, Rules, and Repair.
The 5 Principles of Parenting doesnât presume to tell you how to parent with âmy way is rightâ advice because the science is clear: Thereâs no one ârightâ way to raise good humans. No matter how you were raised, how your coparent behaves, or how your kids have been parented up until now, you can start using The 5 Principles of Parenting to chart a manageable course for raising good humans thatâs aligned with your own values and with your childrenâs unique temperaments. Whether you're in the trenches with a toddler or a tween (because spoiler alert: the tantrums of childhood mirror the tantrums of adolescence), itâs never too late to learn to use these 5 principles to reparent yourself and help your kids build the resilience they need to thrive. Through practice and normalizing imperfection, along the way youâll discover the person youâre ultimately raising is yourself. By becoming more intentional people, we become better parents. By becoming better parents, we become better people. Letâs get started.
