Parenting Resources

Some reading resources that I recommend to assist parents in understanding their own internal responses—which may influence the parent-child relationship—include evidence-based tools for practicing self-regulation, enhancing communication, and fostering connection with your child.

These resources include:

  • How to Raise a Neurodivergent Child: Proven Strategies to Limit Information Overload, Strengthen Relationships, and Find Support Networks to Increase Parental Confidence and Resilience by J. M. Green

  • How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish

  • No-Drama Discipline: The Whole-Brain Way to Calm the Chaos and Nurture Your Child’s Developing Mind by Daniel J. Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson

  • Parenting from the Inside Out (10th Anniversary Edition): How a Deeper Self-Understanding Can Help You Raise Children Who Thrive by Daniel J. Siegel and Mary Hartzell

  • Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids by Laura Markham

  • The Whole-Brain Child: 12 Revolutionary Strategies to Nurture Your Child’s Developing Mind by Daniel J. Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson

As with all resources, it is important to select strategies and concepts that resonate with your family’s needs and circumstances, and to utilize those that are most helpful for you.
