"Every parent is capable of raising happy, healthy, and emotionally grounded children. Despite this, too many of us struggle along the journey.

We feel it and our children feel it. But there is a solution. With over two decades experience working directly with parents, acclaimed clinical psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Shefali offers a profoundly practical and groundbreaking parenting solution that helps parents actualize their deepest desires for their children. This step-by-step guide disrupts toxic inherited patterns and replaces them with authentic connections that allow us to see and respond to our children for who they are and who they can become." -- inside front jacket flap.
