How to Deal with Your ____ So Your Kids Don't Have to

Das Buch ist wirklich interessant. Mit Reflexionsfragen und Inputs um ein ausgelichner Elternteil zu werden. Es tauchen Themen auf, die ich nicht so erwartet hatte, wie "Körperekel" und wie das unser Selbstbild und das unserer Kinder prägen kann. Sie schreibt sehr humorvoll und erzählt Anekdoten aus dem eigenen Leben. Was mir besonders gefällt, ist, dass sie nie mit erhoben Zeigefinger wirkt.

Regardless of where you are at in life, whether you have kids of your own or not, this book is worth every second spent reading it! It is funny, relatable, easy to digest and incredibly informative. If you buy any book about bettering yourself for the sake of your relationships—let it be this one 👌

As a licensed therapist, I wish my clients all had parents who read books like this. The world would be a much more healed and better place. And as a father, this book is so meaningful to me. I don't want to be the thing that gets between my son and his greatest potential. This is such a practical and useful book that every parent needs to read.

As a therapist, I'm recommending this to everyone I know! Eli is an incredible writer - I love all of her books and she has DONE IT AGAIN! This book is an incredible resource for parents (and people in general) to know how to deal with their emotions and internal sticky stuff in the moment so they don't get it on other people. Written with such heart, compassion, and based in science.. it's a must read! Run don't walk!

Eli Harwood continues to publish work that truly moves the needle for parents and kids. This book is essential for any parent that feels stuck in the messiness of raising anxious, worried or stressed out kids. So, basically all of us.

I can’t say enough good things about this book. Eli’s expertise and ability to communicate so much wisdom in a simple way is truly remarkable. It’s real, relatable, yet encouraging. My favorite part though is the way it’s broken up so you can read any applicable section as needed. As a mom I don’t have much time to read a book front to back, but with this it’s wonderful to flip to a chapter that applies to whatever experience is appropriate. Highly recommend for parents!

Great read.

Love this book! For anyone who is interested to grow and improve own habits and behaviours for raising their little ones. Very helpful insights!

This book is not just for parents, it is for everyone! The actionable advice on how to recognize your triggers and what to do about them not only leads to better parenting, it leads to being a better person all around! I recommend this book to everyone (especially parents)!

Hands down the best parenting book I've come across. I love how the author is relatable, the book is easy to read and understand. Gives you prompts on what to say, how to say it and how to forgive yourself.

Excellent ideas and simple methods. Easy to read for equipping parents.

It won't solve all your problems, but will give you a great place to start.

I love that you can pick and choose what chapter is apply most in your life at that point in time, well written!

Love this book. It’s like an encyclopedia for personal issues and gives helpful guidance on what to do when you lose your s***.

Eli Harwood knocks it out of the park again! This is book is so clear, direct, and covers all the bases. As a parent educator, I have worked with so many parents who know allll the parenting advice. They've listened to all the podcasts. They know they want better for their kids but in hard moments, their default is their ( $*%!). They know they want to parent differently than they were parenting but get stuck in their own mud so to speak. I've also noticed throughout the years that it's incredibly hard to deal with your own stuff when you're in the throes of parenting. Our kids will most definitely activate us in the strangest moments without warning. I just love the format of this book...Eli gets RIGHT to the point: if you are experiencing THIS, here's what you do. It's like a quick reference for you the parent when you're about to lose it.

This book is a great tool and I'm sure I will keep coming back to it for strategies and reminders about how to show up as my best self and parent.

Tolles Buch! Absolut lesenswert für Eltern denen Bindung wichtig ist,

Do not miss this, excellent book for parents!! Eli has some great stuff

Loved this book! I’ve bookmarked a ton of sections to go back to and re-read. This is a must read for every responsible parent. 💚

Such an excellent resource!! I love how the chapters are structured with clear information & tips alongside anecdotes and such a natural, easy to read style of writing.

I love that this book is labeled an encyclopedia. SO FITTING. What a great resource to reference when needing wisdom on a particular area you are struggling with!! I am a therapist and see myself giving certain chapters as homework for my clients. I am also a mom and see myself using Eli’s wisdom off and on through my parenting journey. So thankful to have this book!!!!

This is a great book that helps you center your relationship with your child during challenging times.

This is the book I have been searching for! It goes into so many topics that help us navigate our unnamed or unresolved issues and how they affect our children. I couldn’t put it down! I feel seen and understood as a parent wanting to do the best I can with what I have, and this book is an absolute must-buy for anyone wanting to better support themselves and their child(ren).

Thank you for this book! Such an excellent, easy to digest resource as a parent & a therapist! This book is like a “how to” reference guide that simplifies the daunting task of understanding, verbalizing & feeling the wide range of human emotions that we’re all trying to practice & model to our kids. Already recommending to my clients as a tool to help heal intergenerational family patterns!

I’m an Eli Harwood completist and this latest book might be my favorite, though they’re all great. This book is so applicable and delivered with Eli’s signature style, with plenty of wit and empathy. Perfect for busy parents who need a quick AND reliable reference.

I knew I’d love this book based on her other work, but what I didn’t realize is I can go to the exact emotion or parenting stressor I’m having in the table of contents and find a page to help me handle the situation in the moment!! This format is genius, thank you so much!

This book is a must read for all parents who want to raise confident and resilient kids! It gives practical steps in how to do that all while making sure you are the best version of yourself!

Eli’s book tackles tough emotional topics in a way that feels accessible and real. It doesn’t overwhelm you, it actually helps you slow down and understand what’s going on inside. It’s thoughtful, practical, and compassionate without being too heavy. You can tell it’s written by someone who truly gets it. I’ll definitely be coming back to it again and again.

A great parenting book to help build secure relationships with our children while healing ourselves.
