Description
A trailblazing guide for parents wanting to fully appreciate and support their child's unique behavior and abilities
Today's parents are too-often bombarded with conflicting advice and unrealistic expectations. They are left frustrated and unsure of the best way to parent their child. Kristen Cook, MD, helps parents navigate this difficult landscape with a combination of research-driven expertise and compassionate understanding.
In Parenting Redefined: A Guide to Understanding and Nurturing Your Child's Behavior to Help Them Thrive, Dr. Cook walks parents through the key concepts of their child's development, how it impacts the way they act, and how that knowledge should inform their parenting style. She shows parents how to determine their child's unique temperament, understand age-appropriate behavior, and recognize what needs correcting. She highlights the importance of modeling, discipline, and emotional regulation, urging parents to adjust their methods as their child grows and develops.
Filled with practical advice, actionable plans, relatable anecdotes, and the latest science, Dr. Cook presents readers with a child-centric approach that emphasizes the need for empathy, patience, and adaptation. Parenting Redefined is an invaluable guide for anyone wanting to reduce stress, improve behavior, and foster a loving relationship with their child.
