(2022_04) Parenting from the Inside Out - Daniel Siegel

 

This book is not about ordinary parenting as the title says - Parenting "from the Inside Out". Its subtitle shows the real intention by authors - How a Deeper Self-Understanding Can Help You Raise Children Who Thrive. Yes, the core of this book I pick up is self-understanding. Before to be good parents, we ourselves have to make sense of our unresolved and leftover issues in our early experiences. That's exactly the premise of being good parents. The simple quote summarizing this is "Know yourself". How much do I know about myself? Have I ever thought about self-understanding? Don't focus only on my son, but myself either. My son and myself are beings growing together with interaction, physically and mentally.
