Story
We can not raise a happy child if we are constantly screaming threats at them. No parent sets out to hurt their child, but this type of parenting does just that. To raise a happy child that wants to behave, you need to retrain yourself first. You need to change the way you think and react to their behavior. You need to understand your triggers and heal yourself. Only then you can begin to heal your relationship with your children.

Does watching your child lose their temper feel like looking into a mirror? Your children look to you for everything; from lunch money and homework help, to impulse control and emotional regulation. You are the model by which they set their standards. So, when it comes to anger management, are you demonstrating model behavior? If the answer is "no", you’re not alone. Even parents need help learning how to control our emotional responses, especially when it comes to feeling frustrated with our offspring.

Increasing numbers of parents grapple with children who are acting out without obvious reason. Revved up and irritable, many of these children are diagnosed with ADHD, bipolar illness, autism, or other disorders, but don't respond well to treatment. They are then medicated, often with poor results and unwanted side effects. Based on emerging scientific research and extensive clinical experience, integrative child psychiatrist Dr. Victoria Dunckley has pioneered a four-week program to treat the frequent underlying cause, Electronic Screen Syndrome (ESS).

Publisher's Summary
“A wise and fresh approach to mindful parenting.” (Tara Brach, author of Radical Acceptance)
A kinder, more compassionate world starts with kind and compassionate kids. In Raising Good Humans, you’ll find powerful and practical strategies to break free from “reactive parenting” habits and raise kind, cooperative, and confident kids.
Whether you’re running late for school, trying to get your child to eat their vegetables, or dealing with an epic meltdown in the checkout line at a grocery store - being a parent is hard work! And, as parents, many of us react in times of stress without thinking - often by yelling. But what if, instead of always reacting on autopilot, you could respond thoughtfully in those moments, keep your cool, and get from A to B on time and in one piece?
With this book, you’ll find powerful mindfulness skills for calming your own stress response when difficult emotions arise. You’ll also discover strategies for cultivating respectful communication, effective conflict resolution, and reflective listening. In the process, you’ll learn to examine your own unhelpful patterns and ingrained reactions that reflect the generational habits shaped by your parents, so you can break the cycle and respond to your children in more skillful ways.
When children experience a parent reacting with kindness and patience, they learn to act with kindness as well - thereby altering generational patterns for a kinder, more compassionate future. With this essential guide, you’ll see how changing your own “autopilot reactions” can create a lasting positive impact, not just for your kids, but for generations to come.
An essential, must-listen for all parents - now more than ever.
“To raise the children we hope to raise, we have to learn to become the person we hoped to be…. This wonderful book will help you handle the ride.” (KJ Dell’Antonia, author of How to Be a Happier Parent)
“Hunter Clarke-Fields shares her wisdom and personal experience to help parents create peaceful families.” (Joanna Faber and Julie King, coauthors of How to Talk So Little Kids Will Listen)

Applicable summary of several key parenting books
I recognized the advice from other parenting books I had heard and read. I like how practically this book is laid out and I think I'll pick up a hard copy when I come across one. I liked the author's writing prompts. I did not like the narration. While the narrator's voice is pleasant, her tone ups and downs make it hard to know when sentences end. It made difficult for me to follow the flow unless my attention was 100% on listening.

Very helpful for a FTM
I am navigating parenthood with my 7 month old son, and I found this book to be very helpful in shaping who I want to be as a mother and how I'd like to raise my son. I was raised in an authoritarian household where I was disciplined often and it left me resentful and less likely to be honest with my parents. I want to do better for my son. I will listen to this book again in a year or 2 as he gets older to reinforce these ideas

Great Book About Parenting and Teaching Kindness!
I loved this book! It gave me some perspective on the importance of connecting with my young children and being mindful about how I react to them. I realized I no longer want to be an authority figure, but show them love and empathy while teaching boundaries. I highly recommend this book.

No content, repetitive and BORING!!!!!!!!
What a disappointment. Filled with questions, judgements, generalities and NEVER gets to the "solutions." Unending prattle about disappointments and speculations regarding emotions and reactions. Such a WASTE of time and even the measley $6, which I doubt is refundable. Count how many times the word mindful is said in one chapter only. The constant reference to what we are going to learn is tedious. The use of the word you and we is offensive. She doesn't know the reader and there is NO we!
