Summary

"Dan Siegel and Mary Hartzell have quite deftly managed to translate highly complex neuroscientific and psychological matters into lay strategies for effective parenting." (Marilyn B. Benoit, M.D., former president, American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry).

"Parenting from the Inside Out is a must-have for any parent…I gave a friend of mine a copy and she said, 'This audiobook is changing my life. I like my kids again.'" (Gwyneth Paltrow, Goop.com).

"Together Siegel and Hartzell delicately peel back the many layers of parenting to reveal the pure nature of the relationship at its core." (Neal Halfon, M.D., MPH, professor of pediatrics, UCLA; director, UCLA Center for Healthier Children, Families & Communities, and coeditor, Child Rearing in America).

In this best-selling classic, child psychiatrist and coauthor of The Whole Brain Child, Daniel J. Siegel and early childhood expert Mary Hartzell explore the extent to which our childhood experiences shape the way we parent. Illuminating important research in the field of interpersonal neurobiology, Siegel and Hartzell explain how the parent-child relationship directly affects brain development, and offer parents a step-by-step approach to forming a deeper understanding of their own life stories to help them raise compassionate and resilient children.

Drawing on Siegel's cutting-edge research on how communication influences brain development with Hartzell's more than forty years' experience as a child development specialist and parent educator, Parenting from the Inside Out guides parents through creating the necessary foundations for loving and secure relationships with their children.

Disclaimer: This audiobook of Parenting from the Inside Out includes the new preface written by the authors' for the tenth anniversary edition. However, the audiobook is based upon the first edition of the work published in 2003, not the updated and revised edition of the audiobook.

Great Parental Development Book

This is a wonderful book if you’re looking to develop as a parent and a person. I’m sure I’ll re-read many parts of this. Although the narration is great, the quality of sound recording, especially for Mary’s parts, is poor. That is a minor gripe in the context of how wonderful this book is. Many thanks to Daniel and Mary for writing this.

how you change your ability to have relationships

it makes you understand how you affect others. this is due to the understanding of how you were treated and how you build your state of mind around this. most of all you can change yourself and your existing relationships.

Enlightening for a parent who knows something isn’t quite right

It has correctly identified why I do what I do in certain circumstances and therefore allowed me to almost step outside of my own body to observe myself. It sure is a learning process and I’m not at the end of it yet however things are significantly better. Couldn’t recommend highly enough

Exceptional! Brilliant must read for everyone!

Absolutely loved it! I have been training for more than 10 years in psychotherapy and psychology and haven't found a book that rich and helpful.

I think the hard copy would be better

great content but a bit hard to stick with it. I enjoyed the early chapters but got rather tired by the end. difficult to absorb fully via audio

My favourite parenting book and I read a lot of them

I appreciate the humble and kind tone and real life examples with reflections. The explanations of scientific and psychological processes make parenting make more sense. The reflections of the cause of our triggers is food for thought. I especially love the practical suggests beyond what to do with our children but how we can be able to calm down in the moment to follow them when it counts the most.

Great information but...

A really good set of knowledge but may be better read than listened to - the authors are brilliant in their knowledge but performance is....
