Parenting from the Inside Out

Daniel Siegel and Mary Hartzell
This is great for dealing with those situations where we, as parents, feel a charge – where we are uncomfortable, anxious, reactive, or feel tension. This book gives the scientific background for what is happening to us as parents (in very readable language), and it offers ways to approach those situations so that we can, in a relaxed way, change our behavior to reflect the best of what we want to give our children.

Groups

Hand in Hand Parenting

This is a most amazing group. Our daughter and I were headed for disaster in our relationship when she was just 6 years old. Instead of the dreaded disaster, our relationship grew more and more positive. The teen years were relatively reasonable and now (she is 26 years old) we have a very good relationship. Hand in Hand Parenting teaches specific techniques for connecting with our babies and children; it is also a place where it is safe to unload frustrations and fears, freeing us to be more present to our infants and children — of all ages.
