Raising Good Humans: A Mindful Guide to Breaking the Cycle of Reactive Parenting and Raising Kind, Confident Kids

Just read it. Great book and attainable actions to take. Encourage everyone to read it.I really enjoyed how the book is structured too.

So informational and loved this book

Great for every parent!!

I loved this book. It was probably a little Buddhist heavy for some but it really doesn’t come across preachy or as an advertisement for Buddhism.This book gave me so many pointers and instead of jumping right into the ‘meat’ of strategy of how to deal with difficult kids, it gets you to look at yourself first. You deal with your past programming and the author has you learn to be more mindful and calmer so that you can pass that calmness into your children.Like I said I really got a lot out of it. But it’s a book meant to be studied and practiced not just read through once quickly. Which I was fine with!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and enjoyed doing the work and testing the suggested strategies. Being a new parent, I was desperately searching for a new way to parent my hyper-active 5 year-old son. I was tired of all the yelling and needed a better was to communicate with him effectively. And the biggest thing this book helped me realize is that, ITS OK. It's ok if things don't get done the parents way and taking a different path to achieve the goal is ok as well. Also, to simply calm down in heated moments, which it suggests practicing meditation (I've enjoyed this, it really works).I will say you do have to put in the work and it is a huge unlearning process. Unlearning how I was raised and brought up. And he talks about that in the book ,but I will continue to use these strategies because I feel more calm and the strategies are effective.

This book is very insightful, especially coming from a not so stable home as a first time Mom. I always worried about causing any emotional harm. Accidentally to my child which is why I got the book. It goes very in depth on. How to handle situations?And it just overall a great book for any parent to read especially a first time parent. One hundred percent recommend for everyone who has children or is planning on having children.

I rushed to read this book on my Libby subscription and wish I'd had more time to really delve into the exercises. I am a huge supporter of mindful meditation and I swore Hunter was in my house watching me parent. I was raised on screaming and spanking/hitting so breaking that cycle has been a massive difficulty. I'm in therapy and have often bemoaned I CANNOT figure out my triggers. This book has me noting what's the most triggering and being able to remove them (sensory related) or work through them. This book helped me identify so many underlying issues that I was taking out unfairly on my toddler. I recommend this book to anyone looking to parent a better human, but be prepared to do the SELF WORK. because we have to become better to better our babies 🖤

Learned a lot

I am having the most profound experience with this book. Many years of therapy are brought into focus and what I was supposed to know is becoming clear . Thank you .

A must read book, before planning or at age of one year of kid. Now a days there is less patience among parents. This book teaches you to have patience to bring up your kids

I live this book,it is the best parent I have ever bought.(and I have many)It explains very well everything and it helped me tremendously not only with my children but also with my husband!Highly recommended!
