How do you raise confident, resilient, and empathetic children so they become adults with a secure attachment style?

Most parenting books are focused on changing or controlling unwanted behaviors. But when our children feel seen, heard, supported and emotionally soothed by us, all the other parenting tips and tricks start to work. A practical and science-based guide unlike anything else out there, this book offers a road map to a strong and connective emotional bond with your kid--the gold standard for a secure attachment style according to the the most advanced relationship science today: attachment theory.

Humorous and accessible instead of dry and academic, this is an essential how-to guide for would-be parents and parents of kids across the age spectrum. With practice scripts tailored to each developmental stage, Nerd Alert! sections to help explain the science, and stories from author Eli Harwood's own parenting journey, Raising Securely Attached Kids will help break the cycle of deep-seated fall-backs like yelling and punishment, Eli makes the intimidating process of parenting for a lifetime actually fun.
