Parenting is about to get easier--and a whole lot more effective….

In a time when so many children and young adults seem to be struggling, parents are looking for help in bringing up mentally healthy kids who are equipped to thrive. Finally, evidence-based help is now available for overwhelmed parents who are trying their best but feel like they’re falling short.

#1 New York Times bestselling author and neuropsychiatrist Dr. Daniel Amen and child psychologist Dr. Charles Fay have teamed up to reveal what’s missing from most parenting books. It’s the fact that you need to address both the brain and the mind of your child (and yourself) in order to effectively raise good and strong humans.

In this groundbreaking book where neuroscience meets love and logic, parents are given practical tools to help children of all ages go from behavioral problems like defiance, meltdowns, and power struggles to being:
  • Responsible, confident, kind, and resilient
  • Better prepared to make good decisions
  • More focused and motivated
  • Better able to have healthy relationships, and more….
Let Dr. Amen and Dr. Fay help you learn how to be the parent you've always dreamed you could be―and raise great kids who are on their way to reaching their full potential, including their best possible mental health.

Absolutely incredible parenting guidance, with an expertly informed and balanced approach to raising competent, capable children. This is a book I will revisit again and again, I love that it has a full numbered recap of each section at the end. This books helps you to understand where your own parenting may have lacked growing up, allowing you to correct and align yourself and gives you the tools to apply the techniques in the books to your own children/family. I also loved that there were many practical examples of typical situations with the different approaches laid out, helpful and unhelpful, so you can really see the ripple effect of your own actions, reactions and responses to others, particularly children. My favourite phrase and takeaway from the book was: "respond curiously, not furiously." Excellent advice. I earned my audible 'social butterfly' badge by sharing this book! I can't recommend it enough and wish all parents read/listened to it!

Some of the examples were a bit extreme, we just did X and it fixed Y. But on the whole a good book, sound advice.

Decent advice a bit preachy

I want to read this again and again as it’s very practical . I really enjoyed and will use the things said in this as a fall back fill I gain mastery of every technique of this book. It’s very informative and practical. I was said when it ended. The example are very realistic and connects with real life situations and cover both younger and older children.

As a relatively new dad with 2 under 2 and minimal experience with babies before our first was born, I am building knowledge to equip myself to best support and collaborate with my amazing wife and be successful in raising 2 absolute world changers and great kids.

I stumbled upon the author of this book's videos on YouTube and his book I feel has wonderfully equipped me with wonderful knowledge to establish and sustain a healthy and successful marriage and household.

Standout points from the book for me are learning how to establish clear parenting goals for myself and my wife individually and together, clear and simple boundaries (rules) by which our girls can operate and understand, and understanding the incredible nature, complexity and value of the brain in addition to prioritising taking as good a care of my own, my wife's and our girls' as possible!

I am grateful to the authors for their time, dedication and energy to share the great lessons they have learnt over many years!

Foundational book that explains complex topics simply
