About this listen

 “A comprehensive road map for parents who want to raise securely attached, emotionally healthy children. A parenting must-read.” —Alyssa Blask Campbell, M.Ed., author of Tiny Humans, Big Emotions
______

Learn how to create a lifetime of connection, trust, and open communication with your children through connection-focused parenting.

Though there have been countless studies on how attachment styles affect our romantic relationships, Raising Securely Attached Kids is the first book to reframe the subject for caregivers and children, and brings transformative change to your relationships of all stripes.

Therapist and wildly popular attachment research expert Eli Harwood (@attachmentnerd) illuminates the science that explores our innate human need to bond with other humans, and helps us harness it as the only parenting approach proven to have a lasting impact. Her loyal following—fast approaching the millions—connects to Eli’s accessible approach that helps everyone form secure and close relationships with their kids, which helps them develop resilience, confidence, and form close relationships in the future.

Hopeful and inspiring, this essential evidence-based guide shows parents, educators, and anyone with children in their lives that they are not alone in the questions and concerns they may have about raising confident, capable, and caring kids.

Covering every parenting era from newborns to adults, Raising Securely Attached Kids’ simple, real-life strategies will help you:


· Move past old patterns from your childhood to become the parent or caregiver you yearn to be—no matter what you went through growing up
· Resolve past attachment traumas so you can offer a calm, connected, and secure base
· Create a secure attachment relationship with your kids by choosing connection over control
· Build and reinforce a strong foundation of trust with scripts and practical tools
· Understand that it’s never too late to create a stronger bond with your children

From Chris Blunden: Thank you Eli for articulating so well, many of my deeply held beliefs and doing it in a way that is so relatable, Your book is a treasure trove of proven research melded with grounded, practical approaches. I feel it will be helpful for couples where one is already well on the pathway to understanding the importance of attachment, and the other is struggling to relinquish old conditioned habits from childhood. Further personal growth and understanding from both will be the greatest gift they can give their children. Do yourself and all the child carers you know a favour, and spread the word.

What a gift!

I preordered the physical book, but was too excited to wait for it to get here so got the audiobook as well and boy, it does not disappoint!
Seriously, what an awesome parenting book; I'll be recommending it to everyone I know. It's excellently written, is oozing valuable insights, and is easy to digest and listen to.

Thank you Eli for going above and beyond in your new book, it's going to help so many!

If you read one parenting book, let it be this!

Listening to Eli is like a warm hug to my inner child while also getting amazing nuggets of information to support the relationship with my children. The biggest takeaway for me was focusing more on finding empathy for my children (Master 7 and Miss 5) which has already made a big difference in fostering a more secure relationship with them.

Amazingly written, so informative, easy to follow and educational. Truly the best parenting book I've read or listened to, just amazing. And I love Eli's voice too. If you are going to invest in any parenting book, it should be this one.

Absolutely brilliant, the best parenting book you can invest in.

Cannot recommend this book enough. So happy one day I came across Eli's content. She's so lovable. It's for every age. A way to look into yourself and grow into what you want to be for you, your children and any other person around you. I started reading it but, as much as I loved it when I did sat down to read, I got stuck as I couldn't get myself to do it often. So, I tried the audio book and finished it within a couple of weeks. Like on car rides, cooking, waiting bub to fall asleep. Highly recommend audio books if you struggle to sit down. I always thought I preferred only the actual reading but maybe what I can do right now it's this.

Invaluable, I wished this was covered at school
