Keeping your child in mind: Overcoming defiance, tantrums, and other everyday behavior problems by seeing the world through your child’s eyes
By Claudia Gold, MD
Written by a child psychologist, this book covers a broad range of parenting challenges with a unifying approach: holding your child in mind. In essence, as you recognize the thoughts & emotions behind your child’s behavior, you help them develop the ability to regulate themselves. Each chapter focuses on a specific age (from baby to teen) and combines real-life examples with in-depth explanations of child development research. The book offers no quick-fix solutions. Instead, the author helps parents understand how their own childhood experiences and their current emotions affect their relationship with their child, enabling parents to lay aside these things in order to see their child’s perspective. Once a child feels understood, they have a sense of security that results in improved behavior.
