Thank you to NetGalley and American Psychological Association for the ARC!

As a mom of two young sons, I really enjoy reading parenting books to explore different perspectives and to better equip myself to be the parent that I want to be. This book has a lot of really helpful information and I haven't even fully finished it yet! The authors recommend taking your time reading through each chapter and I really appreciate all of the evidence and research that they share. I also loved that they put a TLDR at the end of every chapter and acknowledge that they know how busy parenting can get so sometimes a quick summary is helpful! They also present a lot of really practical advice and this is definitely a book that I will keep coming back to!

I really enjoyed this book! I found it very informative and fun to read! It is science based with a great deal of practical and applicable advice to the reader, as a parent. The coauthors are also parents themselves and I loved reading about their experiences through parenting. The books addresses nature and nurture, while also diving into the fact that due to epigenetics, it is less clear cut than originally thought. This book is up to date with current research on the subject and also includes some findings in their own studies, as they both work in this field. Overall, a wonderful and intrugiuing book that was hard to put down!

This is a must-have resource to help ourselves and our families improve mental and physical health, resilience, and live a more full and happy life. It is full of great strategies, advice, and easy to implement ideas. This is one I'll return to again and again. Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the advanced copy of the book.
