Story
Greer Kirshenbaum, PhD. is a neuroscientist, doula, and parent. Her work began with the goal of developing new treatments for poor mental health; she dreamed of creating a new medication to address conditions like anxiety, depression, addiction, and chronic stress. Over time, she realized that science had already uncovered a powerful medicine for alleviating mental health struggles, but the answer wasn’t a pill. It was a preventative approach: when babies receive nurturing care in the first three years of life, it builds strong, resilient brains.

Extremely helpful strategies

Publisher's Summary
Revised and updated for 2023 with new material, The Gentle Parenting Book offers essential guidance to raising calmer, happier children.
Parenting trends come and go. Gentle parenting is different - it isn't a label for a precise set of rules but a method of parenting that embraces the needs of parent and child, while being mindful of current science and child psychology. It means parenting with empathy, respect, understanding - and boundaries.
In The Gentle Parenting Book, Sarah Ockwell-Smith provides a trustworthy combination of what-to-expect information and gentle-parenting solutions to the most common challenges faced by parents with young children. Sarah addresses a wide variety of topics, including coping with a crying baby, introducing solid foods and creating healthy eating habits, potty training, starting nursery and school, sibling rivalry, tantrums, whining and sulking, aggressive behaviour and much more.
And for those parents who have previously used a more authoritarian style of parenting, there's plenty of advice - and reassurance - on making the transition to a gentler approach. For many, gentle parenting comes as a relief because it chimes with their deepest instincts about the best way to raise their children.

Such a wealth of knowledge!
As a pregnant first time mum trying to discover how I want to raise my child, this book was invaluable.
Not only does it explain gentle parenting approaches, it also deconstructs age-old parenting styles that are all too familiar with what we see in mainstream media, especially the Authoritarian style (as seen on Super Nanny) that I know I was raised with. It explains the outcomes of these methods and everything just really clicks with my brain!
I am obsessed with this book and will definitely encourage anyone who has anything to do with my future child to read it!
